One other simpler problem can be the cause.
It happened to me.
Just try to tighten the bolts  on the metal thin rod between the door and body

Yes they do.  Any sort will do.

But this is a job best tackled sooner rather than later as if it gets worse it will be much much more troublesome to fix.  The service kit (or big washers) works very well. :y (but take the part numbers when you go to Vx so they can find it)
