Passenger door interference
I noticed in the past week that when ever my gf goes to sit in my car (passenger side) the door's edge hits and rubs agaunst the passenger side front quater panel/fender (what ever u call it) causing it to stick and requires force to pop it out to open fully. Has any one experienced this and how do u fix it. Its embarrassing cause when ever i go to a car meet the passenger door opens up with a "CREEEK" followed by a "POP"

I've seen that happen on a work truck that had been hit right around the seam of the fender and the door. The fender was pushed in, which caused it to impact the door at certain points. Granted, this may not be your problem (and you should have known about it if that were the case), but take a close look at your fender and see where the door hits it. The good news is, that's pretty easy to fix with a hammer, especially if it's not very pronounced. 'Course, if that's not it... I dunno.

is common to see the fender hit the door edge on cars that have been involved in a frontal collision at some point in their lives. bodyshops usually check to make sure unibody is straight before bolting on a new front clip, but backyard mechanics do not check frame alignment because they don't have the proper tools.
cause of problem could also be worn door hinges.
