hosser Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 For a while now my door latch keeps latching as if it were shut. right after i pull the handle to open it, the thing just springs back to shut after the door opens, and sometimes i dont notice it and goto slam the door, and BANG the stupid thing bounces back. Anyone had this problem, where do they sell latches because there are no junkyards close by. any quick fixes anyone? ideas... thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godofthunder Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 we had this happen to our old lumina, and then my CS did it a few times. On the Lumina, we kept a butter knife in the car to pop the latch back. My CS only did it a few times, and I think we lubed it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

runt Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 Try cleaning it first. Get some type of spray degreaser. I've had to do this on my car before. Don't hose it down, but enough to get some of the crap off of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
