The front part of the door near the wheel well catches the side panel and pops really loud... i have had this done before and spent 90 dollars to fix it but i was wondering if anyone knows what is causing this and how to fix it?

Thanks in advance... Upon request i can get video of it.

 

the temporary fix is to pull the fender forward just a bit. the permanant fix is to buy & install a new (or gently used) hinge.

 

do it right the first time with a new or near new door hinge.

 

here's some more info.

Thanks Harbinger a lot... i guess i could have searched this topic but thought for sure it was only happening to my car which would be nothing out of the ordinary...

 

I fixed the problem... this was super easy and saved me 90 dollars for a body shop to "fix". Thanks for the quick responses on how to fix guys.
