So this must be just from wear & tear but my driver has the "heavy" feeling. This just happened recently it doesnt close as easily as it used to. Anyone have a solution to this problem? All my other doors will close w/ ease just by lightly pushing with a few fingers. My drivers door i have to follow through pushing all the way firmly at the end so it will close. On the other doors it feels like last 3-4 inches it just kinda closes on its own. I know its not the hinge but probably has something to do with that little black arm peice in the middle connecting the door the body. Is there ball bearings in there or something how do I get the drivers door to glide open and closed like it used to?

Try and spray that with wd40

I put a dab of grease on there because it heavier than WD-40 so it will stay longer. It barley did anything to help. Plus I dont know if there are any wire connection near that point i dont want to the WD-40 to seep in anywhere it shouldn't.

Mine was doing the same and I got some spray lubricant from the auto hobby shop here on base and sprayed that arm you're talking about. It was night and day. I had to learn how to not slam the door.

So maybe I should try like Lithium grease because it will stick? What kind of spray lubericant did you use?

Yeah try that, and make sure you open and close the door quite a few times after applying it.

It seems to be better but this is only masking the real problem. Anyone know how this part works inside the door? or how it can fixed the right way?

I'll call them today and ask. It was in an actual spray bottle that you'd put water in or something.
