    The driver's side door is a bit sticky -- sometimes I have to reach inside and pull up on the ledge to open it...not every time, though. It closes smoothly, nice and tight, & does not rattle at all. Would welcome an opinion as to whether this most likely a hinge issue or a latch issue.

    I had a similar problem w/ mine. Somehow, opening/closing was "sticky". Took it to a shop and had the hinge area replated. My assumption is that previous owners used the door as support when getting out of car, thus applying unduly weight to the door hinge. (Most likely the passenger side door is free from the same problem). After this minor repair, it is much better. I do not put my weight at the door when I get out, instead I use the door sill for support. Jimmy
