Hey guys thanks for the info and yes I have had the unit level when opening so this is not the problem.

Bill: Both shells are nearly equally hard to open however the rear is slightly harder and sometimes they will hit but not hard when closing. There usually is a small struggle the last 2 to 4 inches on the rear half since it has been hanging up (door retainer clip) on the door bag seal or window flange. So I think I need to do a slight adjustment perhaps a quarter turn on the front and maybe a half on the front shell if I remember right as I did read the tread some time back.

The clips are the ones that hold the door pins. They have been properly engaged. Thanks for the suggestion I will replace the rear clip and clean them both with solvent and see what happens for a while before trying to invent a locking device to pin the pins. Perhaps I could rough up the pin and clip surfaces with a little sand paper or fine file too.

Thanks again everyone.
