On my GA the passenger door was opened too far when I opened it and slipped against the door on some ice. Now its not opening right, the door and the side grab and its starting to chip paint. I was wondering if its an easy fix or if i have to take to a body shop ($$$?).

Oy, you got problems mate. Those hinges are heavy enough it's doubtfull you bent those. The pillar they are attached to is probably dented in. I would take it to a bodyshop you can trust & see what they think.

Yup, an upper & lower hinge pin. You'll hafta take your interior door panel off to access the plugs to unplug them. The boot that covers the wiring will pop right out of the door or the hinge pillar.
