the back door locking mechanism is made up of a few parts .
the parts that actually keep the doors locked to the top n bottom are like little blocks of steel connected to a rod and handle on drivers side and are connected to a pull cable on the passanger side.
a  top and the bottom lock block that are tapered on the outside that fit into a square recess when closed on the bottom.
 these blocks have a screw in threaded bolts so to speak.
 if you adjust the bold outwards the tapered lock block can go deeper into the locking recess.
 i cut the bottom out of these recesses in the same shape as the recess plate to let the block go deeper and not bottom out.

fixed my doors from ever flying open ever again.
let me know if you cant understand what i mean and ill ring you and explain over the phone
its easy as to fix.

i have had to do this few times ay.
i like others ideas of stiffening up the back thou i think a combination coud make everything perfect:)

I remember the first time I ever met young Benny. He was driving a yellow Beddy and his solution (then) to the back door issue, was to tie a piece of rope from the back to door to his drivers seat. When the door flew open, he yanked on the rope to shut the back door. haha lol too funny

What about a tip from Mr Bean's mini
There are so many people out there who will tell you that you can't. What you've got to do is turn around and say "watch me"
