My 2007 LD's door is hard to open January 14, 2008, 05:34:55 pm Yahoo Message Number: 88360I picked up my new LD in May and love it. However, I noticed while tail-gating at football games this fall, the door became increasing hard to open - as if the seal was over-sealing (if that makes any sence). This past weekend while at an agility trial, I actually had to brace myself and push really hard to open it from the inside. I suspect the cure is a lubricant? Any thoughts?Glfngal who drives the AGL BGL motorhome

Also, the strike is adjustable. Have a close look and make sure it's centered and not adjusted in too far as that will require the door weather-strip to be compressed more tightly than necessary and also make for more effort to open.bumper Yonder Minden NV
