My problem is the door frame has been bent inward thus making the bottom 2 screw pins that are attached to the door not being straight out at 90 degrees anymore - I will assume I have to try to bang out the frame to straighten the pins from the inside of the door frame itself as opposed to this method you show here?
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, Thanks!!!!!
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.
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!
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.
