   When i try to shut it it just bounces off the catch
   
   If i hold it closed from inside then remote lock it, it holds, but can be pushed open.
   
   Any ideas guys?

   I had a similar problem I fixed it by taking the torq screws out so I could WD the inside of the lock inside door skin... Popped it back on and and it was fine.
   
   Also spray the latch and move the latch manually, then lock the door unlock do this a few times to let it get into the mechanisms
