My door wont shut ?!
Saturday, April 29, 2006 9:43 PM
Hey guys..

I gave a buddy a ride home today and when he got out the door wouldnt shut.. and I looked at it and the latch is shut like the door is closed, but the door is open !

So I tried to examine the other side to look at how it worked to see if I could fix the other side.. and I pushed in on the latch on accident.. it clicked.. and now its the same way.. and I have both doors duct tape shut till I can find a solution. it sucks

So I take the three screws out holding the assembly to the door and now its loose but I cant find a way to make it "unclick"

Does anyone know how to do this ? any help is appriciated because the doors are taped shut.. I cant drive it, and I cant afford to take it anywhere and it would have to be towed there anyways..

This all happened tonight at midnight in the rain so ill look better in the morning but I was hoping before I go at it tomorrow during the day I may have some good responses to help it along

Thanks a lot.. I hope to get some help soon I dont know what to do !

Grab a screw driver, open your door, pull up on the door handle, stick screw driver in the latch, and pull it through like it would of the door was shut and you were pulling the door open.

It's harder to explain than it is to actually do it.

I'd do the same thing use a flat head screw driver pop the latch to open, I would get a can of lube oil to try and see if that uncease the latch hardware, If not You are gonna have to remove the inside door panel to inspect the componets inside the doors latch. Theirs gotta be something sticking.

Good Luck

Keep us updated.

I've had that happen several times on my GM's through the years. Usually because lube is needed is why it happens. Once you see how to put it back in position it's a no-brainer but the first time is a puzzle.
