I just bought a new CC and found that there is some " play" in the drivers side door hinge. The door is actually loose. Is there any easy fix to tighten the hinges? Has any body had this problem?
Thanks in advance!

You'll need to replace the bushings and pins in the door.
I actually sell them on my site:

I have replaced the pin/bushing on mine but it was bad for too long... the holes in the hinge got worn/elongated. Is the hinge replacable or is it welded to the door?

Just did mine a few weeks ago with the kit that NAPA sells.
The tool is a must. My buddy and I did mine. Took us about 30 minutes. Make sure to lube the hell out of them!

Because they can unfortunately, and you're right, it is actually pretty simple for anyone with a little mechanical ability. I think it is important to mention that the tool is a must, like Tony said. Do not attempt to do it with a pair of vice grips or anything else. The $20 tool will save a fortune in medical bills, or just maybe save a life. I know I know, but the older I get the more aware of my mortality I become!
