Default Door repair how to

well my future ex-fiance managed to side swipe a bumper, in my 97 T/A, while pulling into a parking space. now i have a crack, on my passenger side door, that runs vertically from just under my handle about 7-8" down the door. i was wondering what techniques are used to repair the composite. or if it can even be repaired. i will use a hammer and dolly on the metal behind the door but i have never messed with this composite stuff. thanks for any input.

What metal behind your door did it bend?

if you can post a picture of the crack it would help. But it can be fixed if its not to bad

They can be fixed, but try and find a door. They're usually cheap.
