Re: Door Problem

I have heard of that problem too but have only heard of it happening like Chameleon said. Have you ever opened your door rear fast or in high winds that it was basically yanked opened? That is not a common problem, however it is know to happen more with SUVs and vans. The doors are made so large that more wind catches them and can yank them open really fast. Also if you park facing down on a hill and open your door and let it go, then gravity just yanks it open and can bend the hinges. Hinges aren't made to withstand strong forces like that, they are made to withstand forces that can keep the door on the vehicle. You might be able to take it to a service shop and see if they can bend the hinges back to adjust them.
