Door latch

[naval-avi8or]

Anyone else had problems with their door not wanting to unlatch from the inside. Opens fine from outside, but you have to pull in on the door from either the door handle, lower window trim or lower the window. If I **** it up with dry **** it works for about a week and then back to sticking.

I had issues at one time, I just loosened the (what do you call it? Catch pin?) and readjusted it. I was having troubles with it latching when I closed it too.

I haven't looked closley but I didn't think thr latch pin was adjustable.

It is not "slotted" for adjustment, I didn't have to move it far, but it did help. It no longer sticks/pops back open when I close it let us know what you figure out.

:edit: hey just got to thinking, does your door sag? It could be the door bushings are shot... just a thought.

No it doesn't sag. I may have removed the door about a year ago, just can't remember for sure. The door lines up perfect and I have looked for pin wear and there is none. Just can't understand why it opens from the outside with no problems but not the inside I've even adjusted the internal handle **** to see if it was wearing out, but it didn't help.

could it be your locking mechanism is not working properly? On my mustang, the passenger side door is like that. I'll keep thinking about it.
