SpaceGhost Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Some dickless fag decided to try to break into my moms Prius. Nothing is in the car, So they didn't get anything, but they bent the top of the door. Any tricks to try to bend it back? The weather striping is letting a lot of air noise into the car now when you drive it. Any suggestions? http://gallery.me.com/bbotte/100036/IMG_0876.jpg?derivative=mmedium&source=web.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spankis Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Get a crowbar, sit down in the driver's seat and shut the door. Next, try and break OUT. Sorry - had to . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRN96WS6 Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Best bet is to take it to a shop....clifford auto and have them fix it, I can't imagine it being pricy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The weather striping is letting a lot of air noise into the car now when you drive it. Any suggestions? The driver's door window frame on my old Jeep was bent similarly. I just rolled down the window with the door open and my foot against it and pulled the top corner a little bit at a time until it would seat fully when closed. The frame on the Jeep was probably a little skinnier though, so I'm not sure you can bend that by hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy fix as long as the little spot weld between the frame and the door shell isn't/doesn't break. Adjustments like this are done at body shops all over the country every day.

Clifford Automotive Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 If a shop hangs a door right then you dont have to do that. But yes thats all you need to do. Roll the window down, knee the inside of the door and pull it back a little at a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Browning Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 have some one hold the door open and keep it from shutting while you apply some pressure on the top corner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpaceGhost Posted April 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 Knee in the door with the window down worked like a charm. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
