    So my friend was being an idiot and opened my access cab door and thought it should open further so he kept pushing and pushing and now the door does not align up right and it rubs when opening as well....not sure how to fix it.
    If I can put a pipe wrench on the hinge to try to tweak it back... or shim the back of the hinge.... Or buy new hinges....im not even sure if it is the hinges. Could be the sheet metal they are bolted to.

    I was just looking at mine. I could be wrong but it doesn't look like its adjustable. You could try loosening the bolts and shifting the door if there is any play. It may be that he tweaked the hinges from overextending the door.

    Your friend is an idiot. If it's an accident then fine but, he did it on purpose. I would kick his ass and the next time he rides with me I tell him to sit in the truck of the bed. No respect.
