Suggestions for minimizing cabin noise with a possible bent door?

I have explained before that I have a tsx 2006 with a long history of mistreatment or so, lately I was wondering why the noise inside the car was so high to a point that might damage my ears (about 70 to 90 decibels) and found out that the driver door is bent? Like someone tried to open the car putting something from the top of the door which bent slightly the door so all the noise comes from that bent place, I thought it was weird how the rubber cant be in place, it falls out if you touch it basically, now I know why, the door is slightly bent, it can be noticed how unlike the passenger door, the gap is a bit wider between the chassis and the door.

Does anybody here know a way to fix this ? I cant try and bend it back on shape, and getting a new door might be expensive. Is there something I can put between the door and the chassis that minimizes the sound ?

You may want to try taking it to a reputable body shop for an assessment and estimate to repair. If the body shop estimate is excessive, an alternative would be to scout local pick N pill yards. In my area, the price for a used pick N pull door, is $50.00. The door is relatively easy to replace, just make sure the year and color code match. If you don't have a local pick N pull, you can try craigslist, for cars being parted out. Another alternative, would be a local salvage yard, where you should be able to find a door for $150 to $200.
