Default Need help

I have a 09 C6. The driver side door sometimes let's just say, won't open. I've tried to use the fob, unlock, but still having issues. Have to use the lever on the floor from passenger side.

I know the motor works because sometimes it corrects itself. It almost feels like the door is not aligned correctly on the hinges, but maybe I am just whacked...but when opening the door feels like a little resistance...

Any suggestions, would be appreciated.

Default Thank you

Don,

Thanks for the reply. I will give it a go, and see what happens. Yea, it's a pain in the rear to have someone reach in and open a door, especially one of which is attached to a corvette.
