The passenger door of my 2000 Maxima has gotten progressively stiffer over the years, to the point now that it nearly takes a body builder to close it. My wife rarely closes it on the first try, and has resorted to gently kicking it the rest of the way shut because her shoulder was getting sore.
I read a post "2k Max Tight doors?" from 2001, and the only advice given was "lube up the door checks," but I'm not sure what that means. I've sprayed WD-40 on the only visible hinge, but it doesn't feel like it has anything to do with that. Has anyone else experienced tight doors over the years? If there is anything I might be able to do on my own (besides taking it to the dealer), please let me know.
Thanks! Kevin
