Down to adjustment of the locking mechanisms, probably the one at the rear of the door isn`t fully latching. Down to a bit of fine tuning and trial and error.
Keep it real.

Had same problem with mine, just bought it at christmas, am loving the work.
An easy way of solving this in the short term is attaching a boot clamp to the inside of the door and will keep it closed whilst driving! Am having welding done after summer though as the rail at the bottom of mine appears to have worn away, but that's when I'm doing my complete overhaul cause I'm just taking notes at the mo. and want to get it all done in one go.
