The passenger side door on my 2005 Chevy Suburban is having issues opening. When driving back form an Ikea run, I had to stop to check on the stuff I had strapped to the top of the car. My cousin got out as well, and the wind swung his door out super hard. After that it was very difficult to open or close, and would make a loud click when I shut it. It is almost impossible to open now. Also, when I open the door, it bends the side of the suburban in front of it, like it is catching on the body. Does anyone know what would cause that? Do the hinges need to be replaced? The door is not noticeably sagging. Thanks!

Maybe sprung the hinge mounts on the frame so the frame is no longer square, which would essentially move the door edge closer to the front quarter panel - sounds like a pretty strong breeze!

The same thing happened to my wife's driver side door when the wind caught it. The door was sprung enough to where it would barely open and it creased the rear edge of the fender. My body man straighten it out enough to where the door worked normally again for $100.
