A small chunk of wood or rubber waste would cure that issue I suspect; if
left shut at the first notch only it's still resting on the latch somewhat
anyhow, isn't it?

Well it's that time of year again when us guys up here in the North have to
put our finned beautys into hibernation for a few months. Was reading a tip
in an old 1958 Motor Trend mag. It says "Keep Doors Weathertight" "When in
the garage, leave your car's doors on the "half latch" thus letting the
rubber weather-stripping retain the resiliency that is lost when the doors
are always closed tight." Makes sense to me, especially if you recently
installed new seals, but I'm wondering if by leaving door ajar for 6 months
the weight of the ajar door might be hurting the hinges thus allowing door
to drop half an inch or so when you open it. Any thoughts?
