You'll probably notice the door has dropped a bit, usually obvious as the side mouldings dont line up properly.

If thats the case thats why you have to slam it. If not then you need be checking your locks and catches aren't siezing up or anything :)

the door seems to line up fine with the wing and the rear panel so i think tomorrow i shall invest in some WD40 and get spray happy with it :)
