Front door hinge damage

Maybe it just needs adjustment?

 

It was the rapid swing out that fubard everything That's what you're probably dealing with If you take the door off and set it down on the ground and look at the mount points where the hinge lays flat it's probably dented or tweaked the forward edge being pushed in when the door swung out even if that center pin held that doesn't matter it just bent with it. So now you take a metal plate that has a place where a bar can be a fixed to it and has some holes in it and you'd screw that into where the hinge would go and then you would bend that flat back up and back towards the inside of the car tweak it the opposite way it got tweaked initially and that should get your door straight check the bottom too this is what the frame shop will do. You may be able to find videos from frame shops that do this kind of work showing how they do it maybe not.

 

Yes like the video above but if you do that in a Toyota you're going to need a smaller diameter piece of rebar I think and I don't personally like this idea I would rather unfortunately undo the door hinge put a little plate of metal and screw it into the door hinge and be able to tweak that square piece of metal that I just put on the door hinge holes with a long bar and I want to put a bar on it so that I can push the bar that I've attached towards the interior of the car bending the forward edge of the hinge plate area up to flush but this trick in the video is doing the same thing but you will have to accurately gauge the size of the round that you're going to need it's going to be different than what they stuck in the Ford or whatever that truck was. But it's the same idea I just don't want to be slamming the door on something else to make the fix I'd rather take the door off and bend it carefully not just slam it but it could work

 

idk exactly. i guess i would loosen the bolts enough to be able to move the door with leverage, but not loose enough that it could move on its own. then i would see if it could be squared up when closed, all the gaps being equal.
if that doesn't work, something is probably bent, as tom says.

 

Sometimes you can undo the hinge bolts enough or put longer bolts in the hinge bolt holes and then it fit a pry bar with a slight bend in it in the fatter gap that you can make with the longer bolts then you can tighten the bolts a little bit and use the pry bar now to pry in the same way without removing the door you just have to be careful that you tighten down the bolts a little bit so you're not damaging the bolts or the threaded holes that's why I like to take the door off better because someone without experience doing this type of stuff will leave the bolts loose and then fubar the threaded holes and then you have more of a mass.
