I noticed a Subtle 'outward' movement of my driver's door one day. Movement is, as if, door was designed to open like 'Wings'. As if hinges were 'overhead' or tip of door, above its glass or between roof and top of door.

This movement is. . . again. . . subtle. Just about 1/4 inch at bottom of door near lower hinge. [their are only two (2)]

Actual top hinge 'feels' far more secure.

Note; this 'outward' movement only happens upon opening the driver's door. But when closed, the two remaining points that secure the door (top hinge and 'striker/clasp') keep door from moving outward.

Sorry for the wordiness in this description.
