Question
Came home from shopping and had to go...lol anyway, I had my passenger side door opened and was to
close to the door. So I backed out without shutting the door.
I hit the frame of my house. My boyfriend says I need a new car door.
Can my car door just be fixed? Would it be cheeper?
My door won't shut and the window is busted out!
I need my car!
Please tell me what I need to do.
Thank you

Answer
You need the help of a body professional. The hinges are surely sprung, the A pillar is surely damaged (thats the part the door biolts to on the main body of the car) and the door has probably beed destroyed since the window exploded. At very best, you need a door. I doubt that is all it needs.
