On older cars, particularly 2 doors, with lots of wear replacement of hinge pins/bushings was sometimes necessary to corrrect the problem you are describing.
On the Contour I think you can also loosen, adjust and retighten the door hinges to try and cure the problem. Hinge replacement may be required if Ford doesn't sell replacement pins/bushings.
If you attempt it yourself you must provide adquate support for the door as they are quite heavy.
