HELP! The wind caught my door, slammed it open, not lined up anymore.
Anyone know how to fix it?
When it opens, it scrapes along the the front fender, and when it closes, it bangs shut, and now there is wind noise. HELP!!!!

perhaps the hinge is bent now, or the bolts that hold it on are bent
open the door, look around the hinger, etc for scratches, bends, cracked paint, etc, that's the first place I'd go.

Okay, here is a diagram from the Bentley manual...

Take a close look at where the bolts meet the hinge, maybe you can use any imprint/indent as a guide for where the hinge was positioned before the wind knocked things out of line.
It is possible that the hinge itself got bent, in which case you might have to get that fixed professionally.
Good luck!!!
