ok, so out of no where like 2 weeks ago my passenger side door started making noise on my GT. i figured it was just the hinges needed to be greased so i just let it go for a while.
yesterday upon returning home, my girlfriend went to get out of the car, and the door would only open like halfway, so i went to look at it. the door is now hitting the front quarter panel and caused it to crease in a little bit :angryfire now i dont know what all of a sudden caused this. i never hit a really hard bump or anything cuz the car has been sitting for most of the winter. now i have to figure out how i am going to get the door open to fix this without messing up the quarter panel even worse.
its just the bottom part of the door that is catching the quarter panel...it looks like the top end of the door clears just fine. any suggestions as to how to fix this? once i do get it fixed im gonna have to figure out how to straighten out the quarter panel.
the car is a 2 door, just in case that matters...

Is the door hitting the fender. If so pull the fender off then you will be able to realign the door.

yes, the door is hitting the fender...however i believe the door is still aligned because it closes perfectly. I'm thinking that somehow maybe the fender got pushed back or something? idk...really weird
