Default HELP!! My door is runing my paint job

My driver side door hits the front fender when you open the door making a horrible grinding sound. It's like the door is pushed forward and needs to come back about an 1/8". The door is about a 1/16" from the fender when it is closed. Is there any way I can adjust this. Please help it is ruining my paint job everytime I open the door.

yeah you must have popped the old one.

if you open it too far it will do that and continue to get worse...it will eventually start to buckle the fender.

so try to not use it til it's fixed.

my ex did that to my old GT..... thats why i killed her and sent her through a chipper

Is that fairly simple to do? Should I go to dealer for parts?

it very well could be, but in the mean time adjust the fender to give more clearance. It take 10 mins.
