Door adjustments

Recently my doors have been hard to close I have to slam them really hard in order for it to close. If I slide the door catch out so it will close easier then you can see through the door and hear air blowing in. Can anyone tell me if they have had this problem, if so what did you do to fix it.
Thanks

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 17-Dec-01 AT 07:29 PM (EST)]I find body panel and door alignment very frustrating. You just can't jump in and start wrenching. You need to study the whole situation first. Stand back and look at the door and then watch carefully as you try to shut it. Does the door try to raise when it hits the catch? This would mean the door is low in the back. Also look at the door from an angle where you can inspect and see if the door is sticking out at the top more than at the bottom.
