My VS passenger side door is hard to get open from the outside due to a very stiff/tight latch. The button goes in half way easy enough, but then hits stiff resistance and many people think it's fully depresses and they to open the door, but cannot.
You have to press very hard and then the button kind of pops and goes in further, allowing you to easily open the door. My wife's hands are too weak to get the door open! Opening the door from the inside handle works fine, but with the increased leverage a handle brings, I probably just don't notice the stiffness.
I've tried lubricating it, repositioning the rubber block and making sure the door is aligned. I've looked at the latch from the inside the door and cannot see anything odd looking.
Is there any way to adjust these? My drivers side door mechanism works as smooth as hot butter!
