bent my door trying to jimmy it
Locked my keys in the jeep and I ended up bending the top of my door while getting in. Is there any way to fix this? I also destroyed the weatherstripping. It's bent pretty bad-i can see daylight with the doors closed. What is the best way to fix or should I just buy another door and paint it. Thanks for any help

sit on your seat, place your feet on the door right below the window, grab the top of the door and bend it back in small increments

any advice on how to bend it back? It's a smooth bend outward with no sharp creases. I had just got off work when this **** happened and it was about 100 degrees outside. I kinda lost my temper and ended up jamming a pry bar in there to give me more room. Actually wish I had just busted a window now, lol, but anyway thanks for the help
