I like my usual open door jump out before the door slams on me... it makes me keep my agility up. |

Sometimes, it ain't all that easy to figure slope, in the hill country, ...... especially if one leg is shorter than the other...... http://www.roadsideamerica.com/tip/53 Now, if you park your car in one direction and the door closes and you park your car in the other direction ...... and the door closes ....... you may be on to a new "Mystery Spot". humfrz |

I have never noticed the doors closing on me. I must have got the super special sticky-door edition, either that or I know how to use a car door?

When you open and close your car door, do you feel it slip into the notches built into the door closer hinge. If not, it is either lose, broken or worn out. humfrz |

I would say its probably just worn out but its been like this since I got the car almost 4 years ago. but its progressively gotten worse so I'm guessing it was a problem that got even worse as time went by. |

You may wish to purchase a couple new closers. They shouldn't be that expensive. (ya right....). They look to be easy to replace ....... after you get the door apart ..... OR, the one beer humfrz redneck fix: ...... twist the closer arm with a pair of channel locks to deform it. ........ humfrz |
