Default Clicking sound when I open driver's door - what is it?

I hear two clicks when I open the driver's door. They're clicks at certain points where the door is opened - and it's not hitting the fender. I can't see that it's hitting anything really...

you might need to simply grease it up and it should be fine

I'm gonna give that a try. It seems like it's hanging a little bit, but we'll see. Thanks for the advice.

I realized that the pin holding the hinge together is cracked at the top. When the door "clicks" then pin readjusts itself. Any idea where I would find a replacement pin? Is that even what it is called or is it a bolt of some sort?

go to: http://www.hondapartsunlimited.com/ to get the parts diagram up for your civic and you should be able to get a part number for it and pick it up or order it online.
