The other day I went to open my drivers side door and as I did the wind caught it and blew it open pretty hard. My door is now just slightly out of adjustment. I was looking at the pins on the hinge and they appear to be slightly bent. Could this be the main culprit or are there other things I need to look for? Could I adjust the striker a little and just leave it? Any help would be most appreciated. Thank you.:confused:

Chances are the hinges are the problem. Maybe pulled away from hingepost. Either way it's not a hard fix for a collison shop. Take to a place that you are comfortable with and I'm sure they'll hook you up. Shouldn't be pricey either.

Yup, that's what it most likely is. I would compare the bent hinges to the ones on the passenger side door. If the difference is obvious, then yes, the hinges.
