door sag?

Hey guys..just wondering if anyone has had this problem..since about a month after i got my car i noticed my door squeaked when opening and closing..thought it was just the hinge..turns out my door is hitting my fender at the bottom and has messed up the paint on the edge..i havent made an appointment to get it into the dealer yet..but im wondering if this is a problem or just me..there's no reason for it to be sagging..ive never done anything to it..i dont ever pull myself out or anything like that..it just sags. ive also got the front end popping problem. and my cars already been in at 1500 miles for clutch problems. and 2 times for sunroof leaking and switch bein broken. there's some other issues ive had also..not to mention my parents 06 silverado and 06 HHR that both have the front end popping. Is this just what GM has come to?

I had the same exact problem last year. Make sure when you take it in, there is no snow on it. My dealer claimed that snow packed in the fender well and caused the problem. They fixed it under warranty, but said they could never fix it under warranty again. The truth is, it started happening as soon as it got cold, but way before the car had ever seen snow.

Does the door open and close properly? If it does, I would guess the fender needs to be adjusted, not the door. I have noticed the fender to door gap at the bottom is too tight on a lot of Cobalts (mine included). I have not seen a problem with doors sagging or rubbing on the fenders, but I can see how it could happen (I work at a GM body shop, So I get to see problems like this). If it is a sagging door or a misaligned fender it should not be a big problem for a dealer to correct.

My door hits the boddy at the upper corner. Paint has chipped there. The dealer thought it was the seal. Still there.
