Questions about damaged door? - Honda Prelude Forum

Ok i feel like a complete idiot. I was working on my car in my garage and i had the driver side door open. After i got done i was backing out of the garage but for got to shut the door..... the top corner of the door hit the wall, luckly i stopped b4 the door ripped off. I guess its not that bad but now the door is a lil hard to shut and when you pull the handle it kinda pops open. The real problem is that now the window does not roll all the way up, it stops abot a quarter inch before it is closed. So i guess my question is can i bend the door back or could a shop bend the door back to how it was originally or should i just look for a new drivers side door, if its the latter let me know if anyone has one, preferably a brittney blue green one laying around......

you're probably going to have to just replace it. The door brackets might be able to be bent back, but those may need to be replaced too.

As for finding a blue-green door.....good luck. As you are probably already aware, its a pretty rare color. Not only that, but a used one still will not match because of paint fading.
Find a few really good body shops and get their opinion/estimate for what needs to be done.
