drivers door problem

Post by panzerbob »

My drivers door pops open when I have the windows installed, even if it is locked. I can not see any thing getting in tthe way of closing it, or causing friction. Is there an adjustment that i can do that will fix this? thank you

The inside latches get all bound with dirt and grease. This is a very sturdy mechanism and once cleaned it will latch properly. The old dirt and grease makes it latch no catch when you close the door. PB blaster works great to clean i. I like to remove the latch and clean it out of the car as it does create a big mess otherwise. All of the hinges and catches on the door mount to a plate inside that allows for tons of adjustment if the latch cleaning does not solve your issue. K-mann
