So I shaved my door handles and installed whatever the kit is from Summit a while ago. The problem is my doors are pretty hard to close now. When I did the poppers I also put new weatherstripping on the doors though which was a little over a year ago. So my questions is are these doors normally hard to close or is it the poppers because I have never opened or closed my doors without the shaved handles. Second, does anyone make a really light popper if it is the case?

 

i bet you bought aftermarket weatherstripping, i have the same issue, my doors are hard to close after the aftermarket weatherstripping

 

Mine still has its original weather stripping on it and i have to give it a little extra push to shut it.

 

yeah my driver door requires a bit of a push to close it properly, the passanger side is a little better. I always thought my bushings were just going bad. But then again our cars have them big heavy doors

 

I think that my problem is my door bushings like urmomshot77 said.
