Door Weight

Recently got a 85 Iroc Z28 and was noticing that both the doors are a bit heavy to open. Im not sure if it is because the car sat in one place for a long time or if it is normal. Any advice/info, etc. on what it is? Thanks

Re: Door Weight

this can also be because of worn out hinge pins. The doors are heavy, but you should not have to muscle them open and closed.
