   basically my passenger door doenst shut properly, i go to close it as normal and it just bounces back open. the only way to shut it is to slowly push it hard where the hand is and it will shut whats the problem,

   Try tightening the three screws that hold the door lock into the door , t30 i think and make sure the latch on the "b" piller is tight . If not the door latch is buggered and what a honey they are to fit

   I mean like you said youself it does shut if you push it like you did, to me sounds like the latch, is just sprining back and not holding once its in the right palce, and sounds like latch!

    Hi,
    
    My drivers side door is doing the same thing, when I got to close it, it often bounces back and it happens more when its cold.
    
    Was yours a problem with the latch then? and if so can it be fixed or will it need a new one and if so how much??
    
    thanks
    Martin
