Entry door, LXi
David,
I agree, opening the sliding window helps.Brad Barton 00LXiDFWbbartonwx@...

If, after tightening all the upholstery, it still isn't closing, then loosen the latch in the door, and just snug down on the mounting bolts a bit, then close the door. IOW's let it find the position it wants to be in, then tighten it down. I also find that some of the difficulty in closing the door is due to the air pressure inside the coach. If I have a window open, it easily latches, with all the windows closed, it takes more muscle. Sorry if this sounds pedantic, don't mean it that way.--- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, brad barton <bbartonwx@...> wrote:>> > David, > You're right. I DID re-secure some loose paneling at the bottom of the door earlier. Still struggling with it. Probably wouldn't have slammed it so hard if it were closing better. Also, what kind of a coach doesn't have a way to prop the door open? Mine sure doesn't unless I've missed it somewhere. I just use a stick.

I found it to be the upholstery on the door itself, specifically at the center of the door and near the hinge. All those slammings has a tendency to rattle a few screws loose causing the uphostery panels to move away from the door and jamming against the door jam when you try to close it. I'd remove the inside brass handle, back out the screws holding the center panel, pull on the large lower panel of the door to release the plastic clips, swing everything out of the way. tighten up all sheet metal screws holding the interior aluminum panels to the door, and then re-attach the upholster (securely, maybe with velcro).
