Hi Stan

As far as I know this is not only normal but also very desirable. It means the seal is tight and working. I also understand you do not want to force it open. It can break the bond of the seal to door and it is a real job to repair it. Sometimes if I really need to open it up right away I put a very light pressure on the door and wait till enough air leaks in to allow it to open.

The truth about our gas prices.

Why are we low on oil? Simple ? we forgot to check it.
Our oil is in Alaska, Oklahoma and Texas.
OUR DIPSTICKS ARE IN WASHINGTON.
