    Hey all, I need help. When I close my passenger door, it pops back out about a half an inch. If I keep on slaming it, eventully it will stay closed. Is this a bad latch, poor adjustment of the latch, or what? When the door is shut, the body line matches good, so I believe the adjustment is good. Any help will be greatly apreciated. Dan.

    it may need adjusted at the hindge, is the gap even on the hindge side?? have you used and spray pentrating oil in the door latch . It may help as well. open and close the door and watch for movment at the hindge. also open the door and look for anything rubbing.
