New door?
Shortly after I bought my car a bondo crack appeared in my drivers door. And after the first time I took off the door panel I was greeted with dozens and dozens of marks from where a major dent had been pulled out of it.
Recently though I noticed my door does not sit very flush with the body....
With the door shut, comparing the rear portion of the door with the area just below the sail panel: The top of the door sticks out about 1/4" past the body, the door is flush with the body where the door striker sits, and then sticks out another quarter of an inch at the bottom of the door.
Should I scrap the door? My passenger side door sits flush with the body top to bottom.

i would scrap it and buy a new one but i'm not a body guy by any means
on the other hand I know you can only repair a panel so many times before it isint safe
just my opinion
