Bob,
My drivers door was difficult to close - there's a bracket on the door post with a hole in it for the lock mechanism on the door to fit into - mine had some debris in the hole making the door difficult to close at time - check that first. A few drops of some gelling oil helps to make the lock operation easier.

Good luck -

Every "winter" (I, of course, use that term loosly by back east
brothers) my drivers door becomes difficult to close. I almost have to
slam it shut when temps get below 50 or so.

Try a shot of spray lube in the latch mechanism.  Or it could just
be out of adjustment.
