Drivers door... probably most of the problems are on the driver's
side. In my case, the problem came from stupidly backing into a
campsite and not noticing the tree that caught the door. It stretched
the door open, and now you have to slam it. I can't put my finger
exactly on what is wrong, so it is hard to say what to fix, but when
the door is closed, the bottom of the door rubs on the rear sill.
Maybe this thread will motivate me to get out and think about the
problem some more.

Anybody else done this to a driver's door?
