How to repair door rubbing against fender on 01' silverado?

Question

Wind blew the door open as I was getting out,now the door rubs against the fender.The hinges are welded and I dont see how I can adjust the door. thanks

Answer 1

take it to a body shop and let them do it.

Answer 2

see if you can bring the fender up away from the door some.

Answer 3

WHAT HAPPENED IS THAT THE DOOR FLYING FORWARD BENT THE HINGES FORWARD TOWARD THE FENDER. THE HINGES ARE MOUNTED TO THE COWL HINGE PANEL, WHICH IS NOW BENT FROM THE STRESS OF THE HINGES MOVING OUTWARD AND FORWARD. THE PROPER WAY TO FIX IT IS TO REMOVE THE DOOR, PULL THE HINGES REARWARD INTO THEIR ORIGINAL POSITION, RE-WELD IF NECESSARY AND REINSTALL THE DOOR. THAT COULD RUN ABOUT $175-$250 AT A BODY SHOP. THE CHEAP FIX IS TO ADJUST THE FENDER OUTWARD AND FORWARD TO COMPENSATE, BUT IT WON'T LOOK RIGHT.

Answer 4
