Door Skin Edge Damage Worked on the TA today in the garage with the door wide open. Accidently knocked it out of gear causing it to roll back. As it did the edge of my door caught the wood framing along the wall of my garage and crunched the damn edge of my door about 1 inch long and .25 inch deep. Sound fixable?

Any competent body shop can fix that damage on the door edge. For the color to match properly, they'll need to blend the quarter panel as well. Depending on your area and local body shop labor rate per hour, expect to spend between $700-$1200. Look for a shop that offers a liftetime warranty on the repair work as well.

I thought about injecting the cracked areas with some resin and using a wood block cut to the shape of the door to press it back into it original position with some claps. Think that would hold?
One of these days I was going to get the front clip painted so it probably wouldn't cost much more to shoot the door as well.

Lol that's crazy. It would only cost $200 for a complete door if I could find the right color.

only use products made for SMC (sheet molded compound) materials! DO NOT use anything for fiberglass or bondo! only problem fixing in that area is every time you slam the door it sends a shock wave though the door and may cause problems in the future. best way to fix is with another door. I have a door if needed.
