Back Hatch problem!!

I just recently got rid of my '99 F250 and got a '99 Explorer and noticed afterwards that when I try and close the back hatch door it doesn't always close properly, and have to reopen it agian and repeat the process, what could be causing the problem and what can I do about it?

Is it the glass hatch or the whole hatch door? Neighbor has a 99 and the hinge broke on the glass portion of the hatch. Turns out it's a recall item according to him. Just take it to the dealer and have them check it out. Shouldn't cost anything.

no it is the whole door, everything looks fine but have to brace my hands on each side to close it properly with a good slam.

Sorry, I guess I'm not much help then. I believe my 92 is somewhat different.

First thing I would do is remove the inner door skin and spray all the linkages with a good penetrating oil.
