1997. Why doesn't door open and close completely and doesn't latch?

You may have moved the hinge towards the front. Some door hatch hook that is on the door post is adjustable.

1996 grand cherokee front driver door will not close all the way, the door itself can close if i slam it on the outside but otherwise its very hard.

Your description indicates the door hinges require adjustment. Usually the striker would be removed and the door hinges adjusted for easy closing and equal gaps. It is likely in your efforts to make the door flush with the front wing, mudguard or fender, the hinges are too far in. Most likely your replacement door is not identical to the original - not unusual for various reasons... Once the door hinges have been adjusted to provide a satisfactory position and closing the striker would be refitted and adjusted so it goes into the catch or latch dead centre - neither lifts nor pulls down the door as it closes. That is where the door needs to be and if it stands proud a little it is just bad luck - often the front fender can be repositioned and then the bonnet or hood readjusted. A competent panel beater would be able to tweak things for you to make them acceptable. It might have been better to fit a new latch to the original door.

When it's cold out my doors won't stay closed

lubricate all door latches and hinges (GENEROUSLY) with WD 40, repeatedly open and close doors until latches are working good.
After doors are closing as they should respray all latches and hinges with lithium grease. If this does not work replace latches and have door hinge pins checked.

How to open a glove box door when the latch is broken on

check under the glove box door to see if you can see the hinges. Sometimes you can unscrew the hinges from the bottom. Else you have to knock out the hinge pin on both hinges, open the door from the bottom and see if you can swing the door up to undo the latch.
If this does not work, cut a hole in the bottom ot the glove box, it is usually made of plastic or papier mache, release the latch from inside, then you can remove the plastic box once it is open and replace it with a new one. It will cost you, but it will be less expensive that breaking down the metal door!

Where is the latch for opening the hood ?

The red release latch is down under the dash on the extreme left hand side. A release tongue should stick out from the radiator grill when the latch is opened. Pulling on this tongue will release the hood When you open the hood the angle is initially restricted to about 45 degrees which is fine for minor jobs. If you need extra room, the left hand hinge has a latch pin which can be swung inwards to allow the hood to move up to about 50 degrees. Releasing the second latch pin on the right hand hinge allows the hood to go vertical. You will have to release the left hand hinge latch pin to close the hood.

Door does not shut tight--bad latch???

usually the door latch will go bad when the door hinge bushings are very worn. Inspect the door hinge by holding the door a grab the outside door handle and the door shell firmly. Now lift the door up vertically and see if there is any play in the hinges. If the slightest movement is found replace the door hinge pins and bushings. your door latch may work great again If not replace that too
