Fender rubbing door.

On my passenger side , it seems my door rubs the fender every time I open it. Is there a way to adjust the door or is this a body-shop deal?

Re: Fender rubbing door.

Have you gone over a curb on that side or has anything hit the bottom of that fender recently? When I got my car, the fender and door were hitting and I thought it was the door. I found out that something had hit the bottom of the fender which pushed it up and into the door.

Just something to check out before worrying about door hinges

Re: Fender rubbing door.

The way i fixed it was just to losen a couple fender bolts find a good prying point and move the fender forward a fraction of an inch, i never had the problem again.

If it's just rubbing a little, it's probably nothing to worry about.

Whats the worst that could happen?
