Bent Door...Repairable?

[MattyH16valver]

Did'nt really notice it when I bought the car...but the Drivers side door is bent from where someone tried to brake into the car. The lock was knackered, so the previous owner told me that he took it to a body shop to get it repaired etc which I have the reciept for as proof. Thing is...theres still a substantial gap in the door.....would this be re-pairable...or is it easier just to but another straight door? Matt

Have u tried this and know it works....or was that just an idea? :)

used to adjust new cars this way. like stated prob happened when someone else forced it out. just adjust with small pulls at a time until right.

Mines the same mate

In comparison with the passenger door it's noticeable but doesn't leak

Indeed....gonna have a go at bending it back tonight....wish me luck! :shock:

My door is exactly the same from when it got broken into.

They mangled the lock but couldn't get in that way, so they bent the top of the door open instead.

Managed to bend it back, but mine sticks out just like yours does.

I'm just gonna try and get a new door...

[MattyH16valver]

It's very frustrating really....lets the car down. Did'nt get a chance to try and bend it back tonight cos of the shit weather. This the bets idea would be to get another door. I doubt I'll ever be able to get it totally straight again. :(

if its the whole door sticking out try adjusting the catch on the B pillar maybe?

It's not the whole door m8...just the black pillar where they tried to pull it open.
