ok, so around 45-55 mph my doors start flapping like crazy, it makes my car sound really unstable like the doors are just waiting to fly off!
does anyone else have this problem?! my dad suggested to bend the doors but that it wouldn't be a permanent solution, and if we were to keep doing that the doors or the windows or something...will eventually break
HELP MEEEEeEeEeEe!

its a 92 festiva GL, my bf said that the hinges were bad and in turn make the doors sag so that's part of why the doors flap maybe? i would say so.
keep in mind that this car was found under a tree, and it was probably there for 2 years at least.
I've had this car for about 5 months, within the first month of having my car, i switched the passenger door with that of a junk car (it was in better condition) but don't think i did it right. since the hinges are crappy, i didn't think there was much to do about it, and the door shut right so i wasn't complaining.
3 months into owning my car, we had rebuilt a head on the engine (it was only running on three of its four cylinders) so with that out of the way (plus balancing the wheels to fix the car shake problem)...we were able to take it to higher speeds; 55+ mph. it was then that we noticed the engine wasn't making noise....nor was it the car shakin its groove thing, but it was air passing freely through the doors at the top.
i wouldn't be surprised if my car just flapped away with me in it!
