    My rear left door sticks. Not the handle or lock, the door itself. When I try and pull it open I have to exert some force and can hear it peel away as it opens.

    Thoughts on cause and solutions? Could it be as simple as the rubber strip along the bottom edge of the door?

    Well, the easiest first thing to try would be to clean the seal and then put some silicon on it.

    Sometimes a door will stick for me if there is enough moisture on the seal and it freezes hard.

    Mine does the same thing if I haven’t opened the doors for a week or so. It’s annoying, but doesn’t seem to be causing any harm. If it bugs you enough, try spraying some armor all on it to prevent sticking. Don’t use anything petroleum based as it could destroy the rubber.

    Yeah it didn’t bother me too much when it was every few days. But now it’s daily even when we use the door every day for the dog and the kids.

    If it's sticking on the bottom seal, I'd wager a kid spilled something and it got on it. Ask me how I know.
