    i replaced my drivers side door hinges because they were bad and ruined the fender. same with the other side (passenger side), however the door (passenger side) seems to be fine and line up fine? it does not sag or fall when i open the door yet it still catches the fender. any answers as to why this does that?? i dont want to go through swapping out the hinges if i dont need to. drivers side needed it, but passenger side seems not to but like i said still catches the fender?

    Your fender may not be lined up properly. Where does it catch? Near the bottom, or at the middle?

    toward the top. but really the whole fender is bent. just want to figure it out before getting new ones. is there room to adjust the fender? doesn't seem to be much play in it to adjust them

    That seems like it would be more of a body panel alignment issue. I've never done any panel work on my car, so I don't know how adjustable they are.

    here is what i did to make sure it didnt catch on my door when i opened it: screwdriver + rag = pry bar on fender. just pry it out enough so that it doesnt catch on the door. you wont mess anything up and itll look fine.
