On my S13 you can just loosen the mounting bolts on the door hinge and move the door up a little bit then just retighten them. If this isn't enough adjustment you can always drill the holes a little bit bigger to get more adjustment.

The method that slo40 suggested will work for a short term fix. However, I've found that the hinge tends to loosen again over time. If you have the skill or time I would suggest re-welding the hinge for a long term fix.
