Where does the drivers side door wiring harness (MKIII) plug in and what do I need to remove to get to it. I want to take off my door to adjust the hinge angles back in alignment without having to take off the entire front bumper and fender. Does its plug just pop out the body once the door is removed and the sleeve is popped out? Anyone who has replaced a door or removed one let me know, thx.

Going strictly from memory, you can pop off the kick panel (you have to remove the foot rest first, 2 phillips screws, be careful not to strip them) and that will expose everything you need. There are a few plugs but (again, strictly from memory) they just pop right out then you can thread the harness and grommet out of the body and you'll be set.
You also don't need to remove the door to replace the hinges. You'll need some patience and a few different wrenches of the same size... I've got a flex head ratcheting wrench, a regular ratcheting wrench, a regular wrench, and one of these: http://www.chiaoba.com.tw/details.php?image_id=389&sessionid=68181864eb783f128d806c9ff98a48bb
If you just need to adjust the door so it closes smoothly just loosen the bolts and pull it up and tighten.
If the hinges are actually bad then you will need something to hold it as there pretty heavy.

Yep, as Grim mentions, you can get to them through the fender opening (remove the liner of course)
