About a week ago my driver door would not shut when I went to get in it at lunch. Now while I drive around I have to hold the door shut so it doesn't swing open. I need to know how to get the doorapart so I can look inside and figure out the problem. I hear that there is a certain order that you have to go in to get the door open.
Any help from anyone who has done this before would be appreciated. ASAP!

Thanks

 

is the latch not latching or what? try moving the door latch back and forth a couple times before you go tearing into it. prolly stuck

 

I got the latch taken out but didn't see anything obvious that was wrong with it. I took the white/grey molding that was around the latch but could find nothing obviously wrong under that as well. The latch itself is rivetted together and I didn't have a way of getting it back together after I would have taken the rivots out so I just started searching that salvage yards. The dealer wanted $180 for a new latch! Like I am going to pay that. I found the part at a salvage yard here in town but the guy wanted $100 if I pull it! SO i said I wouldn't pay that either and found it at a salvage yard while visiting the in-laws in Iowa and got it for $25.

Haven't put it in yet becuase I ordered a new exterior handle as well becuase the locks were not working and there was a piece that was broken on the handle that kept the auto locks from working. Got the new handle from germanautoparts.com $27 + shipping.

Plan to try and put it all together as soon as possible. Will let you know how it turns out.
