Door Ghost

FM Former Member
Hi gang,

My latest trial and tribulation concerns my driver's side door not staying completely closed. It shuts fine and seems solidly closed but at the first body flex it opens about a quarter of an inch. Not to where it is actually open but it then can bounce and rattle. Hmmm, not a very clear explanation. Is there any adjustment to the locking mechanism that I have no knowledge of. I have adjusted what I can see as moving parts several times but to no avail.

Thanks

Gary

Gary,

Try wrapping a few turns of friction or electrical tape around the post on the door jamb. It won't take much. I had a persistant rattle in the door and someone suggested that fix. It worked great but over the last weekend the tape dropped off and the rattle returned. Give it a try, cheap anyway, might work! Reminded me I have to replace my missing tape!
