My door is difficult to close. I can do it from the outside by pushing with a respectable amount of force, but cannot do it from the inside since I'd have to pull on the handle quite hard and might rip the lining off. When I fly, I just pull it as closed as it'll go and snap the top locking hatch and it works fine. But, I can still see outside around the back and bottom of the door still. Its not a solid seal. If someone closed it from the outside, it would work fine, so long as it was pushed fairly hard to make the latch catch.

Is this easy to adjust? What is likely the issue? I assume this is fairly common.
