Might need to get her a different vehicle.Try being with a woman who's used to German cars with heavy doors... I have had many expensive fiberglass doors slammed on weekend outings because she doesn't modulate her strength for the car she is in.
I had a 74 T-bird I think those doors weighed close to what my JT weighs.Slamming doors is something that will always piss me off. It started with my first vehicle.. that had power locking doors. Someone slammed door shut broke the door latch inside door and power lock. Had to disassemble door with shut to be able to open it and fix it. Nothing special about that 10 year old car but I tried to take care of it. That started me down the road for getting pissed off about slamming doors. My second car I owned that you had to slam the door on 72 T-bird.
How? Mine haven't done that. Take it to the dealership and have them pull them out.On a side note...I took my front doors off last summer and the new hinge brackets that have to be unbolted on the inside of the cab retracted into my door. I can't get those suckers back out so I've just been dealing with having the doors bounce off of me every time I get I'm and out.
I put the doors back on while we were on vacation at the beach because an unexpected storm rolled in. I just sat them on the hinges and closed them which caused the brackets to retract all the way in the door. I haven't deemed it enough of a nuisance to take it to the dealer, I was just wondering if anyone had a DIY solution.How? Mine haven't done that.

I find that odd or interesting as I've got a few friends with high-end cars, Mercedes, BMW, etc. and those doors close SO easily there's no need for muscle. They may be heavy, but to close them there isn't a need to slam them. Just a gentle shove does it when getting out. That's how my friends show off the engineering - they get out and then with 3 or 4 fingers, give the door a gently push and it closes with that nice, neat well-engineered sound they make.Try being with a woman who's used to German cars with heavy doors...

They will if you aren't careful and make sure they are fully out when unbolting them and make the the last things you unbolt before lifting the door off - and don't close the door when removing it.How? Mine haven't done that. Take it to the dealership and have them pull them out.
I think this is because these cars lower the window a small amount as the door is about to close and then raise it again once it is latched. If for whatever reason it isn't able to, there is too much air pressure inside the car for the door to latch. I've owned several cars now that do this.I find that odd or interesting as I've got a few friends with high-end cars, Mercedes, BMW, etc. and those doors close SO easily there's no need for muscle.
