Wife left in neutral with the door open and it rolled back. Door caught on boat and...hyperextended? And creased a smidgen. And wrenched the frame its hinged on. Can't be closed.

2006 beetle at 230k, we just did radiator, heater core, timing belt, tires, maybe 2k gaaaaaa!

Someone tell me "oh that will be no biggie"

I would surmise that you could get a hinge complete with a new door at a pick n pull, or maybe someone is parting one out.
Then you worst issue is, the paint doesn't exactly match, or swapping inner panels for color..

please let us know...

"oh, Dr Bartolo, that will be no biggie, you got this!"
