Door Catching the Frame

[Zoticuss]

I just had my Mach-E in for a SOBDM replacement. Picked it up, went to grab my girlfriend, and now the passenger door is catching on the frame pretty badly.

Before the service, there were zero issues. We had just been on a trip and used that door multiple times without any problems. I even opened it again in the Ford lot before handing the vehicle over.

Now it’s noticeably misaligned and catching every time.

There are:
No dents
No visible signs of impact
Nothing that would suggest it was hit
So I’m trying to figure out what could have caused this.

Does anyone know:
Could this happen from improper reassembly during the SOBDM replacement?

Would they have needed to remove or adjust any panels or hinges to access that area?

It feels too coincidental that this started immediately after service.
Appreciate any insight before I go back to Ford.

Uh oh, they probably lifted it wrong and it ended up bending the fender.

I can't 100% remember the procedure, but the SOBDM above the front motor under the hood. I think they can get to under the hood without removing fenders. Most likely a lifting incident.

You can see that the door is misaligned and has a gap starting about 2/3rds the way down.

I’m absolutely not an expert but that’s what I see. You can also see exactly where it’s binding just below the crease below the E4.

Don’t open the door now, because you’ll damage the fender and the paint.
The fender was clearly deformed.
The fender needs to be properly realigned, along with the gap between the fender and the door.
If you have the skills, you should be able to handle it yourself.

You can see underneath it appears to be bent upwards... This is going to cost the dealership some money.
