Mine sorta 'clicks' as it opens, too (look at the slide in the door on the hinge side - it has notches to hold it open), but I don't have a problem keeping it closed. Did the catch on the door frame get knocked out of alignment?

My driver's side door(when it's closed) has never lined up with the other paneling on the left side of the car. At first, I was inclined to believe that my car was in an accident and the owner neglected to tell me about it. However, I then came to think that something must get bent or worn over time as the door has been opened and closed. I'm not sure if it's possible, but it's a theory of mine.

Mine is the same, but my car has been in an accident. I figured it was just because of the accident, it probobly is.

I seem to see some damage on the trailing edge of the driver side door. Perhaps the door was forced closed with something stuck between the door and frame or someone tried to pry it open?

I may be a paranoid here, but it drives like a car that's had a frame pull done on it, and I've had two of those so I know what it's like. Isn't it illegal to sell someone a car and not tell them about something like this? I can take some pictures later and post them.
Sorry about asking questions in someone elses thread, but this concerns me.
To keep the post on topic, I pmed you.

That could be a possibility that I never thought of. I attributed the rough edge to the door hitting objects as it was opened over time. Anyway, I reposted this question in my own thread and removed my old posts to keep the topic of this thread on key.
Thanks.
