Door sticky

My passenger door is lazy. You have to "body-check" it a little to get it to open when you pull the handle. As a result, people pull the hell out of the handle on that side and are going to break it

At a guess, this seems to be a door striker problem or something; I suck at body work - is there an easy way to diagnose what is going on that would cause this symptom?

thanks,

-Tom

If the door doesn't line up with the striker, what you describe can happen. If the door is aligned properly, the striker can usually be moved a bit to allow the door to close as it should.
