I'm gonna guess that whatever's goin' on,it's symptomatic of an open door configuration.At 10-15 degrees the pressures must be balanced between 'inside' and outside.Whenever you try to either open or close the door,the pressure differential opposes it.
I suspect that the overall drag of the JEEP is higher until the door is fully closed.
