Have you ever noticed on small air tight cabs it takes more force to close your door when the other door is closed? When someone rides with me I have to be carefull not to close mine too hard.

Thats why on the S-10s and I think the Rangers, they have a thing in the back of the cab for that. It lets the air equalize
So its easier to shut the doors

It's the most annoying thing in the world. And yes, girls seem to be the ones to always do it. Everday my sister slams it. The passenger door has trouble closing sometimes, but if you pull it close the cab (maybe 5 inches away) and then firmly yank on it, it will close fine. The most annoying thing about it is that they grab the door when it is all the way open and jerk it as hard as they can, but right when the door gets up to the cab, they release the handle. This causes the door to bounce and sound like it is going to fall off. (not firmly holding it is what causes it not to close) The least they could do is hold onto it after they slam it.

I don't really appreciate it when someone slams my doors. Usually if I know the person is a "door slammer" I'll mention to them BEFORE they get in to please don't slam the door. I've noticed over the years that some people seem to think it's normal to slam doors shut; they do it on their rigs and everyone elses. That slamming crap is hard on the pin and it's backing in the door jamb, hard on the arm rest on some rigs, and serves to loosen everything in the door so it will rattle sooner. The days of the 200+ pounds doors, such as on early to mid 70's Monte Carlos are over; no need to slam.

All vehicles are different- so someone might be used to a door that closes harder- then they close your door with the same force and blamo.
Doesn't bother me one way or the other. I think people over concerned with it are retentive personally.
