The first, but not easiet, fix is to loosen up the hinges and adjust them so the door fits right. Now, some hinges/doors are unadjustable. In that case, it brings me to solution number two. That is opening the door a little, putting a car jack under the rearward most edge of the door, and pushing the door back up that way. I work in a body shop and we do it either one of those two ways.
