71 Satellite passenger door wont close.

71 Satellite passenger door won't close. I sprayed the hinges. The Door stops about 2 inches before closing. I'm going to rebuild the hinges but just want to keep the door closed. Thanks

Sounds like the hinges are binding badly. Did this just happen, did you find the car in this condition, or ??? Some context would be helpful here. All that said, I'd just remove the door and hinges, rebuild the hinges and then reassemble them once I knew that they were operational.

Could it be that sloppy hinges are causing the door to droop down? Can you lift up on the rear of the door to line it up enough to latch it closed. I can’t imagine that spraying the hinges would cause this, but then again you didn’t say what you sprayed them with.
