Tom:

Sounds like the air loads are causing your gear door to deflect enough to
allow the aft outboard tip of the door to hang up on the gear leg. If this
is the case there should be some chips or witness marks indicating the
interference. You may want to check with the original owner to see if the
doors have the factory recommended 6 bid carbon reinforcement.
  The easiest fix may be to be sure you retract the gear below about 110 KIAS.....
