Put some Armor all or something similar on the rubber part of the door seal. Your problem will go away.

thats my point there is no rubber ie no weather stripping is that all i need? cause i figure if there is no weather stripping it would make it easier to open the door, am i right?

logically, it would make it harder to open... considering your causing a seal now as apposed to pulling metal off of metal. Does your driver door, hatch lid, etc all open fine?.... possibly frame damage? :dunno:....

i would suggest getting the weatherstripping in there and going from there

Yep. I had a problem opening the doors. My good friend is a master tech for Acura and I brought the car to the dealer for this sticking door problem. He comes back 2 minutes later and says to me, "Your car is done." I said, "Huh? What did you do to fix it?" "Just put a little Armor All on the rubber. It happens all of time." I felt like a dope. Since I wash the car all of the time, any type of lubrication on the seals is taken away causing the seal to stick to the metal making the door difficult to open. So every now and then, I put a little Armor All on the seals.
