Default wind screwed up my door!

Hey guys well yesterday I was windy as hell...nothingout of the norm for kansas, but it was exceptionally windy and when i got out of my truck the wind caught the door and bent the top hinge. (U know the gap between the door and the front fender?? well there was none, they were touching) so after bending it back and and loosening the bolts and pulling the door back alittle, it looks normal now, but i can hear wind noise when driving down the road....any suggestions on what to do? here is a pic of what it did.

Buy new hinges. You probably sprung the old ones and now they're permanently bent. Hopefully you didn't actually spring the sheet metal in the doors.
