Door Closing issue.

Hey guys i have a 05 Mini s with 48,000 miles on it. It seems like my doors need to be basically slammed to close. I hate this because all the other mini doors that i close seem to just close so easy and dont need to be thrown a little like mine does.

I was just wondering if anyone had a simmiler problem or heard of one that maybe could give me some advice on how to solve this. Thanks!

try spraying some lube in the latch. these doors are very heavy so it does take you pushing it more than other cars you might be use to.

wurth HHS if you can get some or a good white lithium grease ...
