Nicely Done, Very Nicely Done! Just bought a 2007 Chevy Silverado and as I opened the drivers front door I hear a hard crunch screech of sorts. I can see a point about 1/3 up on the front of the door hitting on the rear of the front driver fender. Was going to try to loosen bolts and adjust but this seems very logical and I do have many many sockets. So, front door hitting on bottom 1/3 to front fender, therefore must make go up, therefore must use a socket on lower hinge. I'd worry about my fingers but they have already been destroyed from wrenches breaking torques and my poor fingers crashing into brackets to save the wrench. Nicely Done, Very Nicely Done,

Nice! I know what I'll be doing tomorrow! My Jeep door won't close at all. This should fix me up.

Just replaced my driver's door that was damaged in an accident and the new door doesn't close all the way (maybe a bent mount). Hopefully this will fix it. Thanks for the video!

Stupid 50mph wind in Wyoming almost blew my driver door right off and now the hinges are bent I think. 😩😩

My Honda latch will catch & lock onto a screwdriver, but it won’t stay latched to the striker post. Is there a remedy for this? Thanks in advance.

Our car was hit at night (in front of the house), and the DS door was bent and jammed till the extend I think to replace it. But it is a question how to remove that door. A large bent is on the central and bottom part with some sharp crevices near the lower hinge. The blow was so strong that the car was moved from the road to the side walk. That hinge is bent from its normal position, and I can't open that door. I thought to apply a braker bar, but after this film think to play around with that lower hinge by lifting or lower the door and try to open it that way. Thank you very much for this informative film.

So glad you made this video. Thank you about to attempt to bend the door myself.

i have a 98' olds 88. i backed the door into a post a month ago, right into the door arm rest. the door then overlapped the front fender. so i put the socket in the hinge, because i could see the hinge was bent out a little. it's still not flush to the body like on the other side. the lower hinge has a pin in the way of putting a socket in there. the back of the door is now too close to the back door. the top of the door frame seems right, but the where the window frame meets the windshield, there's about a 3/4 inch gap. i dont even know what to do there. if i cant do it myself the car isn't worth enough to pay a garage, so it'll end up scrappted even though its a clean car.
