The passenger door on my 63R1 is sagging about a 1/4" and the kids are slamming it shut. To gently close it, I lift the handle as I close it. 

I understand how to adjust the hinges and striker. 

1. Any words of wisdom? 

2. When removing the window crank and door lever, do I separate at "A" or "B" in my attached photo?

There is a standard spring clip between A and B.   There is a clip removal tool available at most part stores, etc., designed for this.  Then remove the door panel and the latch striker.  Check the alignment at the front of the door.  If it looks good, then loosen the hinge bolts on the door, leaving the lower bolt on the lower hinge snug.  With the door closed, raise the back of the door until it is where you want it and snug one upper hinge bolt.  Check all the gaps and if you are satisfied, then tighten all the bolts.  Now reinstall the striker and adjust it to where the door closes correctly.  Lastly, check the vent and window alignment with the top and adjust those before reinstalling the door panel.

Thanks @ronmanfredi . Just to clarify my markup, B is the space between the leather door panel and metal piece, and A is is the crevice between that metal piece and the rotating handle.

The crevice is where the clip is.  There may be a thin piece of plastic touching the inner part of the handle.  If so, the clip is between that piece and the handle.
