Default Door getting caught on fender

Lately, when I enter the car, the door gets caught on the front fender. It never happens when I get out, only in?

It doesn't happen every time, but it happened twice today. Whats going on?

Misaligned body panels?

I've had the car for almost two years, and it just started.

Actually, I had the fender off for the meth installation, but it was done by a pro. Plus it was a long while ago.

Maybe the bolts holding the fender on are loose to the point of letting the fender move enough to interfere with the door.

"Pro" in the strictest sense just means that a person gets paid for what they're doing; doesn't necessarily mean that they're good at it (even though they may have passed a few tests to be certified) ....

This has to be the problem.

I just opened and closed it about 20 times and each time was fine.

Maybe it's the heat.

Door hinges or the bolts holding the door to the hinges would be suspect.
