Just adjust it.
If you cant adjust it, check if the hinge pins are worn and recondition the hinges and go from there.

You could just get new hinges, they aren't that expensive. Joel did a DIY on how to replace them.

Do you have the link for Joel's DIY ?
And where can I buy new hinges? Good ones?
Is there a VW shop in Victoria which stocks the parts - I know that VW used to make Beetles in Clayton.
