I am having alot of trouble getting the driver side door of my 2g GST to shut. Has anyone else had this problem?

How can I fix it?

Dude,

When the door is being difficult, do yourself a favor and check to see if the window is getting caught outside of the frame. Mine does the same thing. The 2G shop manual has a procedure to adjust the full up height of your window. they become a little mis-aligned sometimes and go up too far after a few years. Adjusting the window cures this quick.

what he said is right, mine did the same and it was the lock itself on the door latch, the window was fine but then the door would like jiggle, take your door panel off and tighten the bolts on the outside of the locks, check the ones on the other side too

It just won't shut. I have to slam it several times just every time I get into the car. I have to roll the window down to get it to line up also. It's a pain in the ass.


WD-40 won't work this time. Thanks anyway !!

my isnt hard to open. it just creaks, and it off track.

My window trim on the top is not soft rubber anymore so mine is sometimes hard to close because the window is practically hitting a wall. After I get them replaced it should be all better. You might want to check and see if yours are dry rotted.

Is your door aligned? When you go to shut the door slowly, right when the latch pieces contact, is there a lot of resistance to shut the door the rest of the way?
