It may have been just pulled in to take pictues of it and it has been sitting outside? | | | | | Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 2,525 Member/2500+posts | | Member/2500+posts Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 2,525 | Gently pushing on the outside bottom, holding the middle from closing while you push,, works good,,

At annual this year I pulled my doors and 2 out of the 4 were broken. One in the middle and not noticable. The other one had the end and 1/2 inch missing. | | |
