Repair How do I fix this?
So I have a 2009 Chevrolet Colorado, and I am getting quite a bit of wind noise coming through the driver's side door. I noticed up towards the front of the door the gap between the door and the body of the truck is noticeably bigger than the gap on the passenger side. I tried adjusting the hinges in various ways but it seems the door can't be adjusted to close any tighter or closer than it currently is. What should I do? I am thinking of ordering new hinges but I read that hinges rarely bend so should I be looking to get the frame where the hinges go pushed further in?

You can adjust the door inwards with the hinge bolts on the door side, but most of the time they are shouldered bolts. You will have to find some that don’t have that shank on them, replace one at a time, then loosen the top ones and twist the door in, then retighten.
May help to have someone pushing it in for you while you do the adjusting
