Busted Door Hinge

I am getting my TT ready for spring so I run to Walmart in my Van to get some supplies. As I open the door in the parking lot the wind catches the door and swung it open HARD.

It didn't hit anything but now it rubs the front fender and it makes a horrible groan. When I open the door halfway there is play in the door if I lift up on it. Compared the gaps to the passenger door I know things are out of wack or broken

I will try to stop by an Auto Body shop later today to see what they have to say. ....until then I'm wondering what others have paid for this type of repair or if there is anything else I need to know.

Thanks

  • Let me clarify. .....it's my tow vehicle I'm talking about ....1999 Ford Econoline E350 Super Duty Passenger Van

    I just got to work and we have a Ford 2002 E250 van and there is no play in the door. ...definitely feels more solid than my door.

    Not happy happy about this. :(
