Aspects of the present invention relate to a door for a vehicle, a door arrangement and a vehicle. The door (106, 107) comprises a first door panel (120) and a first support mechanism (201) configured to support the first door panel (120) on a body (101) of a vehicle (100). The first support mechanism (201) is configured to enable movement of the door (106, 107) between an open position and a closed position. The door includes a first connection part (110) attached to the first door panel (120), for providing a latching connection with a second connection part (112) of the vehicle (100) to maintain the door (106, 107) in the closed position. The door (106, 107) also includes a first tension member (204) connected to both the support mechanism and the first connection part (110). The first support mechanism (201) and the first connection part (110) are configured to enable the first tension member (204) to be put in tension between the first support mechanism (201) and the first connection part (110). The first tension member (204) is sufficiently flexible to enable a lateral force against the first tension member (204) to be mainly resisted by tension forces that the lateral force produces in the first tension member (204) when the first support mechanism (201) and the first connection part (110) are restrained.
