my wife did not have her door closed and latched so while backing out of the yard this morning a tree reached out and grabbed it and before she could stop bent the door back past the 90 degree point.
comes in wakes me up. i messed up my door.
its 6 am and 15 degrees outside i go out in robe and slippers to see.
gave directions on how to get hinge covers off and what tools to get.
go in have coffee while waiting
loosen 6 door hinge bolts, try closing door dont work.
put large prybar in to hole wher hinge is mounted to cab.
push hard on door forcing hinge against bar, couple good shoves on each hinge. close door. wife inside tightens hinge bolts.
door now closes, has slight bend on front edge and a larger gap between door and fender than it should.
but for a 10 minute repair at an early hour it will do for now.next summer it will have to be fixed right.
