Window frame damaged after burglary

[Paul]

My car (08 TSX) was recently broken into, and it looks as the thieves pried the door to gain entry.

The driver’s door didn’t close smoothly at first, but now it seems fine, except that it doesn’t sit flush aside with the rear door.

However, the window groans and cackles sound when it is rolled up or down. Upon closer inspection, the thieves left a small crease, about an inch long, in the upper window frame about 3 inches from side mirror. Is there any way to fix this, or do I just live with it? Thanks in advance.

What you might have to do is put a piece of wood in between
the door and frame. Then try and push on the window frame to
bend the frame/ door back in place. keep checking the fit.
It may never be perfect again but it may close/operate better.
