    Ok so just today i noticed that my driver door and passenger front doors are just barely eubbin on the fender but just enough to hear it scrape a little bit. The fender isn't dented in or anything and the door i perfect. Does this happen to alot of grand prixs? Or just me lol. And is there any way to fix it? Or does it all need to be realligned or something??? Let me know thanks

    Bryant

    p.s. its a 4 door

    It happens to them alot. Especially coupes. Open the door, push it away from the fender to hopefully try and bend the hinges away from the fender a bit. Always works for me

    i bowed my fender out so it would stop hitting. the real solution to this is to replace the door hinges and pins.

    I think Matt would be one of few people to get this one but...

    Port the doors and the windows, no more sagging. Hell yeah.
