My door is falling off!!!
Hey fellas check this out,
I noticed a few months ago that my door seemed to not be closing very easily...not flush. Well today after I got back from lunch I close it and I really have to slam the door to get it to latch..... I called and will be going to Nalley Acura after work. Do u guys think they will try and say I hung on it or something. I treat this car like my baby ( dont have one yet ) and would never do that.

I had a 1995 T-Bird Supercoupe (big time "UAW built" trash!!!)
In the first 3 years and 65,000 miles they replaced worn hinges on the driver's side 4 times. The Body shop manager at the time said it was common with the big two doors due to too much weight for 2 hinges....
This happened with the LSC,s t-birds cougars and the earlier mustangs (1987-1983)

Did you notice a gap before the door started to not close right, cause I just noticed a gap on mine, and I am wondering if I should bring it up the next time I'm at the dealer? (I really feel sorry for my dealer cause I have a lot of crap I'm gonna make him look at next time I'm in.

I bet you it's nothing.
If you open the door, you'll see the door striker on the side of the door frame, look like a U. It just needs to be adjusted. If you unscrew the two bolts and push the striker back a little, then tighten it up, I'll bet the door closes fine.
