sticky hinge

my drivers side door hangs up a little and pops rlly loud when i open it, it also feels like it isnt latching right when i shut it, im pretty sure my door got misaligned somehow, is the best fix to just take it to the dealer

Yes, unless you want to mess around adjusting the hinges and/or door latch yourself!

watch the inside of the hinge when you open it. i had a similar problem. my hinge loosened. its not fun to tighten btw. if you are under warranty go to the dealership.

You can see if it shifted. The hinges are painted to the frame. There will be some cracking of the paint around the hinge and door frame joint.
