Today I stopped at my school and left the door open as i ran inside for a
few minutes. (I didn't want to waste the little air pressure I had because
my compressor is malfunctioning.) I came out 5 or ten minutes later and
tried to shut the door and slam. grossly out of alignment. After much
fiddling I have come to the conclusion that something is bent. Hopefully
the hinge. When the door is shut the back side sticks up a 1/2 to 3/4
inches higher than it used to. When all the bolts are loose the door seems
to sit well. 

Questions:
  What is the best procedure for aligning the doors?
  
  Do the hinges/ Doors / roofs bend commonly? Which usually bends first?
  
  Does anyone make replacement hinges? or does anyone have any extra
  straigt ones?

thanks Jon
