    Today it was super windy in upstate NY, the wind took my driver's door suddenly and pushed it too much, broke the door stop and pushed it a little too far to where it even cracked the fiberglass a bit. See pic.

    And now the door is a bit wonky -takes a few slammings to shut properly. It's like my high school car all over again. The weird thing is, I can't see any damage - the hinges don't look bent, the door looks aligned, the door is not loose or wobbly. But now it's hard to close.

    Is it possible to adjust the door angle, or remove it and remount it, like you can on some older cars? Or maybe I need to replace the hinges? Or the broken door stop is getting in the way? Any ideas appreciated. Normally I'd just deal with it, I've driven worse hoopties, but this is my nice truck that I'm gonna be putting a driver into possibly.

    Never mind, I figured it out. I loosen the hinge bolts and fiddled with them and now it is b-minus level acceptable, i.e. Tennessee good enough.
