The top half of my bathroom door on my 2014 177 is rubbing against the door frame, there is plenty of room from the door nob down to the bottom of the door.

I suppose I could plain down the door but curious if anyone else has an idea? Btw, all the hinge screws are tight.

Thanks

Ours warped slightly, outward like yours but not towards the frame.  Probably particle board which may not plane well.

I used to work at a place where I put together pre-hung interior doors. Try putting a small shim behind the bottom hinge, that will draw the top of the door away from the door frame. Sometimes that will help.

Same thing on my 2013 177.  It was the plastic molding that needed fixing.   All it took to fix it was some good glue behind the plastic trim to suck it over tight against the wall jamb.  Glue and shim it tight away from the  the door until it's set up and dry,  to create a 1/4 or more gap so the door isn't hitting it.  That ought to fix the problem.

    If the above ideas do not help and if you have a bar clamp that you can reverse and use to spread the door opening near the top that may help. When we had our r-pod the back window was difficult to slide open or close I used a bar clamp to expand the opening and it helped. You just need to be careful not to expand it to much but the walls and framing will have a little give without doing any harm.

Yes, same here on the 178. I pulled the door off and trimmed it some and refinished it. No biggie.
