My 2013 GTI's driver side door will not close in hot weather! I have tried using
wd40 but it still will not close. Any ideas why and what I can do?

had a '73 Gremlin, that did that,....all I can suggest is find a good "body knocker" to bend the apparatus in the right way~
Those cars fit pretty tight, so your problem might be air compression under heated conditions. Try cracking a window when closing that door; that might be all you need. Otherwise, maybe the weather stripping has been damaged. and needs to be realigned.

You mean the latch won't engage ? Weird that's usually a cold weather thing
We had a VW that did the same thing on both doors and ED is right, we just opened the windows slightly and the doors closed just fine in the summer heat.
