Bent door hinge

Hello,
I recently was backing up with the door open, it caught the mailbox, and bent backwards. I think the door hinges are bent. I have tried to put a spacer in between the frame, and the hinge to bent it forward. But now the door doesn't line up properly, it sags, and does not shut. Do I need to replace the hinges or is there more too it?

Thanks,
Andrew

You may have bent the hinge mounting points on the body where they attach to, or the door mounting points, or both. I would get a new set of hinges, and try them, if you still have alignment problems, then you will probably have to take it to a body shop to see if they can straighten it out.
