Default banged door...

argh, so mad at myself today, i just got done washing the car and was showing my friends the engine to my car and my car started to roll back!!! i had the driver's side door open and it hit a pot next to my drive way. to make a long story short it seemed to have made my window not go down all the way and hits really weird when it stops. anyone know what is causing this to happen? i know i can take it to the dealership to get it fixed. but i just want to make sure it's not something simple i can just fix before going. thanks for listening.

edit: to clarify where the door hit, it hit on the inner side where the rubber is that "seals" the door from water. kind of where the manufacturers sticker. but on the door side area.

Warranty dosn't cover something if its your own fault. The door might be misaligned though.

You don't tell dealerships that its your fault. It just.. "happened"...

Honda didn't install the dent in the door, therefore it's not covered under warranty.

Sounds like the inside of the door is bent pretty good. Go see a body shop about getting it repaired. It could be way more than your deductable to fix properly.
