Subject:[TRIP] Unintentional Side Door Opening
From:Mark G

Hello All!  I'm happy to report that the Westy has performed admirably on the trip from L.A. to SLC, Utah. except for one thing. During the trip, the side door became a bit difficult to close, but it was fine after a minute.  However, when we arrived in Utah, the door suddenly opened by itself after starting from a stop sign.  SCARY!  Anything I should check? (I don't want to tell you how my wife and I felt after the dozens of times we got out of the front seat to check on the young ones on the back. I kept having nightmares of falling out of the van and onto the freeway last night.) Anyway, TIA!  On wish us luck on the return trip!
