1995 to 2005 are the same doors .They should be easy to find .Double check with the salvage yards they have the interchange info .

There is adjustment on both hinges .If it is out at the top you can try the upper hinge ,loosen the bolts on the door side and pull the door in .If that does not move enough you can loosen the bottom hinge and push it out at the bottom which will move the top of the door in some . If that still does not help you might have some cowl damage from the accident .which means the lower hinge area where the hinge bolts to the car is pushed in . That is very common .In most cases that would require putting it on a frame rack to pull back into place . I assume you are working on the front door ,if not the rear is the same except the center post could be pushed in . and remember in at the bottom will push the top out .Good luck
