The reason its hard to shut your door is because it has such a tight suction. That is good, no leaks. If Im right you should be able to crack the windows and shut it with ease. I have the same problem, well its not really a problem.

sounds to me like your hinge pins and bushings need to be replaced, if its anything like my old camaro , the doors are probably sagging, and when you close them they are either contacting the door sill or the bolt the latch hits, try that and adjust the doors as well, should atleast help a lil if nothing else.
