When I open my driver door I have to pull up with both hands to get the door open. If I just use the handle it sticks on the front part of the door by the lock and striker pin. What should I be checking.

If it just started recently, and there has been no obvious change to the door itself, start by inspecting the outer door seal - is it fully seated? Binding? Is the seal tearing or ripped, particularly the front half?

Also look at the alignment of the door when it is closed, are the gaps uniform all the way around?

If the latch of the door is rubbing on the head of the anchor pin you can try removing washers to "shorten" it. If that isn't enough you can file the top of the pin. If that isn't enough you may have to adjust the door.

It was my door lock it was getting interference inside the door. Gettin hung up on the edge of a bracket that I can't see what on earth it is for. These really are rolling prototypes.
