From behaving well, started suddenly being very hard to move. Did not suffer impacts, abuse or mishandling. Lubricated hinges and did not help much. Been pushing it with force to get it to lock closed for a couple of months.
Read somewhere on this forum as solved only by replacing hinges, a not pretty job.

Decided to force pry it higher with a piece of wood against the bumper at almost closed position under the woofers.

It is now better than new. Aligned perfect with the latch, closes and latches with a pinky pushing it. 1 minute. Replaced nothing.

 

hmm.. will have to try that out - thanks for the tip. Mine is increasingly getting harder to close. First things first though..right now I'm battling a sporadic hot transmission oil light and today the brake light came on and then went off. I'm telling ya.. it has been a week.. 60 people laid off on Tuesday where I work. Everyone received a termination packet except for me and my office mate. It was so weird and sad.

I'm ready for the weekend. What kind of wood did you use? 2x4?

 

It was like 1" thick, 6" wide , 30" long from deck leftovers. Thicker would not fit under the door.

 

Also, lubing the hinges and slide mechanism on the bottom of the door helps immensely.

Just did a fluid change on my trans. Wasn't overheating or anything, but it was starting to make a weird noise. New fluid seems to have helped, for now.

Check your brake fluid, low conditions can cause light to flicker/come on.

Sorry to hear about so many folks losing their jobs.
