Will shutting a car door on the coax from the antenna do any harm? It
creates an indention in the cable.


A "small" indention won't do any harm. However small is a relative term. If
the indention is too big you'll short the outer shield to the center
conductor. You don't want that to happen, period. If you have access to a
SWR meter then check your match. If it's 2 to 1 or less then don't worry
about it.
