Make sure that the catch on the body is going fully into the latch on the door, not just to the first notch.
Ahmen. I didn't have this adjusted right when I first put my car together. After having the car on the road for a couple weeks, the passenger door went flying open while going around a corner. Instinctively my gf grabbed it and slammed it shut causing a chip in the corner of the door. I thought it was just me but another friend with a new ERA did the same thing several weeks later. He had to pay nearly $600 to have the chip fixed and the door repainted. I've been living with mine but I plan on getting it fixed soon. Make sure your door closes to the second notch and not just the first one.
