Have you checked the batteries in the original remote? Go to radio Shack and get the GP-27A batteries.They are keyless entry batteries and better than the stack of little button batteries that come stock.
The keyless ride remotes work great. They are smaller, cheaper and easier to use. I have a couple of them and the range seems better and they are much better constructed.
The range is dependent on both the transmitter and the receiving antenna.
The 92-94 receivers and antenna were hidden behind the glove box and that could hinder the range somewhat. The later models had the module under the rear package shelf and they seemed to perform better there.
My son's new 92 pearlie has a viper alarm, replacing the stock one. His range is very good, but not that much better than the stock unit. I am not sure where his antenna is located. The creative people who installed it in ran the red LED behind the SECURITY button. When the system is armed, the word "SECURITY" flashes.
As for the radio door, there is a wire spring that puts tension on the gears on the right side of the door. If you pull out the radio cage assembly, you should be able to see if it is slipped or broken.there are notches that each end of the spring rests in. The spring is part #18 here:
