I have recently removed my touring from storage and am having problems getting the drivers door to close. If I open it and try to close it, it doesnt catch and just bounces back. But if I open it, pull the inside door handle, then close it, it closes just fine. Just curious to see if anyone has had a similar problem before I open it up in the morning. Thanks

Check the latch on the side of the door, might be stuck.

*EDIT*

Ok, got it figured out. I just had to pop the latch and it seems to be working fine now.
