<DIV>As I am driving, the sliding door on my 91 Westy will suddenly pop open about a quarter inch. I can hear air rushing in. It doesn't open any farther because of the safety catch. This happens whether the door is locked or unlocked. It will&nbsp;sometimes open when I drive over a pothole or speed bump, but other times, with no provocation at all. Needless to say, it scares by rear seat passengers a bit. Any advice on&nbsp; which part needs to be replaced, or is a re-alignment of the door in order? Thanks.</DIV>
