Wind caught pass door of 03 blazer now it shuts differently.also noticed gap in front of door has decreased but not touching front fender yet but darn close.rear part of door gap has increased and there is more gap at rear of door than b4.if u look at drivers door the pass door may b off up to a qtr of an inch
Roll up a towel and put it between the pillar and the door, push against it to bend the door she’ll back. Trial and error until it will close again. Also a floor jack on the rear corner of the door with a block of wood wrapped in a towel can be used to adjust it up if necessary to hit the stricker properly. The door has to be held while jacking it. The hindges are welded on to the pillar...any other types of adjustment would be beond most shade tree mechanics ability. An 03 Blazer is not worth the cost to have a shop repair it. You can do this with a little common sense, trial and error, and this approach. Good luck.
Oh is the "A" Frame OK, also the door frame where the hinges are your looking for damage distortion creases etc.
As the body guys say a dent is fixed by reversing how it happened, so to me this will be a body shop job. Ask a friend in the know to have a quick look see.

check your door bushings in the door hinge these probably need replacing. if you can lift up on door and feel play they are wore out. common issue on these if not you can put a wood block betwwen bottom of door and body and push on top of door to bend it a little to close top tighter

The hinge is possibly sprung where it attaches to the body. If it is welded to the body, a body shop will have to fix it. Sometimes you can shim behind the hinge if it is bolted to the body, but, usually not successful.

Make sure the latch hasn't already dropped into the locked positon. If it has pull on the door handle and raise up the latch.

At first check if the door hanger's are OK. This item is the first that quit his job on most SUV's and cars. Open your door to half, then try to lift the door up. If that happens, change the door hanger incl. 2 metal rings(one on top, one at the bottom) this part cost only some bucks. If you need to adjust the door, there are 2 screws on the body, this let the door slips front/rear, and -if your car is equipped with - there are 2 screws at the door, that let the door swing up and down. If it rubbs on the fender, take the doors backwards for only 2mm.

it is easier to to adjust the fender cause if you move the door it could cause you a huge headache tring to get it to line up at the latch and you could cause numorous wind noises and air leaks.
