93 325is door problem

[Brian 1]

I'm having problem with opening the driver side door? When I pull on the handle the door will not open unless I put a little pressure against the door with my knee,actually pushing it in slightly. Does the door need to be adjusted???

Is it possible the door panel is getting hung up? I have a similar thing happen on mine but its the passenger door so I rarely experience it.

Could the door be sagging? I cant remember if that is a common problem on 2 doors but you might check it out.

Could one of the door seals be out of place and preventing the door from closing all of the way?

same thing happens to my door about every 2 months..all you have to do is get some WD-40 and open the door up and spray the lock and the striker with a good amount of lube...that should do the trick...everything just gets dried out in there and wont work properly.

I your gonna use spray lube spend an extra buck and get a silicone based lube instead of WD-40. WD-40 can become very sticky when it dries out.
