    Door will not close

    My driver side door will not close all the way with out popping back out about 1/2", just enough to make the interior lights come on. If I slam the door it will stay in place.
    I have not inspected the door to trouble shoot the problem yet. Just woundering if any of you have come accrose this. Lubrication, adjustment, missing/broken part; what was your fix?

    Nooo, wrong use of a meme makes me sad

    I guess it's an alignment issue, maybe the bolts of the hinges became loose, you need to adjust them.

    Probably just need to realign your door, as RustRat says. You can also quickly try adjusting the rubber bushing on the frame that people like to replace with solid ones.
