    Soft Close Doors

    I've noticed that on all four doors, the automatic locking mechanism pulls the doors closed tightly and then releases them; thus causing the door to move out maybe 1/8th of an inch in the process making a slight "thud" sound.
    Doesn't matter if I get in the car and close the door normally, or latch them gently and let the door close itself. Not really a problem, but slightly annoying.

    I'm assuming this to be normal?
