rear door adjustment
it looks like my car has had bodywork done before i owned it. 3 of the doors slam shut very confidently. however the fourth one requires a little bit more effort to close. if i apply the same force (like the other 3), the door does not close completely. instead, it is in the slightly 'ajar' position. i noticed a certain area on the body where the paint is chipped or scraped off due to the door touching it where it shouldn't.
my guess is the door is out of alignment slightly. i wonder if the adjustment is not too hard to do on these things. can anyone help? many thanks. rodsob

I don't know if this will help, but you can adjust the door stopper with the four screws. It will then move slightly.
I've found that this is often the issue with my doors acting like you described. Also, look carefully at the rubber/plastic black protrusion in the door stopper (compare to the others). Sometimes that is broken and is the culprit. Don
