Doors

Are anybody else's doors really tight? I literally have to slam my door or start the car, roll down the window, and then shut it or my doors won't close all the way.

If you are not good at adjusting doors ( it is easy to get them way off fast ) then swing by a body shop. The striker may need a slight adjustment, a decent shop will be able to tell right away by how it is grabbing the striker. my door would only grab on one click and be ajar with just an easy push, I would have to give it a hard push to shut. I had to adjust the striker and the the door itself just a tad. now it closes with one easy push fully, like butta. passenegr door always closed nice, but also doesn't get used that often.

Thanks man! That makes sense, I didn't know if the cold weather had any effect on it or if it was something different.
