1989 Honda CRX Two Wheel Drive Manual

My battery died recently so I had it recharged and after I put it in it still wouldn't start. All the lights were on but it made this weird buzzing noise every time I turned the key and then the lights started dimming and finally lost power all together again in a matter of 10 minutes. I checked to see if I put the battery in wrong but it's in right so not sure what the deal is?

Make sure battery terminals are cleaned and tighten properly if okay Check the starter-the starter overrunning clutch could be slipping-

First thanx for the insight on the starter. The more complex issue I have is the fact that my driver side door keeps hitting the fender whenever I open the door. What's the best way to adjust the space between them? Haven't tried taking off the door to tweak it yet so any suggestions on how to best tackle it? I replaced the fender hoping it would be that simple but no luck. I know it's a common thing but it's a first for me.
