A ground support tractor includes a wheeled chassis having a cabin mounted thereon. A door assembly is coupled to the cabin. The door assembly includes a lower track having a ramp and a door slidably received by the lower track and translatable in a first direction relative to the cabin between a closed position and an open position. The door includes a main panel and a closeout panel that is translatable relative to the main panel in a second direction between an extended position and a retracted position with the second direction being substantially normal to the first direction. The ramp is configured to apply a retraction force to the closeout panel that causes the closeout panel to translate from the extended position to the retracted position responsive to the door translating from the closed position to the open position.
