I've attached a picture here. I think my driver door latch is wacked. It always closed in a clunky fashion relative to the passenger side. The two DO NOT look the same. The driver side appears to be missing or the upper portion of the latch is out of location or sheared off. Please see pic and comment. Thanks in advance.

nos driver latch at greensales about $45 glad i bought one they have some in stock
Looks like the piece is there.....just pushed all the way up. Gonna have to dig it out. Time, patience, and some wd-40 or equivalent will be your allies.....
Are your door strikers good, too? Sometimes the lack of plastic on them in time makes opening and closing a little more louder.
I can get those things by the pound at the big yard I go to.Maybe I should start collecting more of the parts we rarely think about.
I think you should Vin. Our doors have 24+ years wearing on them
Thanks guys. Yeah, it was in there. Needed to be rotated down. I assume it's just age and gunk preventing it from working perfect. I doused it with WD and reinstalled, seems to be working better but yes, the plastic on the catch is gone. Wrecking yard on Thursday after work. Probably grab a latch or two along with come catches with plastic. Cheers, always good help here.
I think I will start stock piling parts like latches,hinges,etc.Stuff we generally take for granted until we have a problem,and these parts aren't getting any easier to find in nice shape.....especially up North where rust rules.
guessing hood hinges and latches and such would be a good stock supply too.
Oh yea.... charcoal canister brackets never survive up north either.
Oh yeah,I forgot about those.I'll make a list before I go.Your bracket should please you,and it was off the first car I got to.Afterwards,when I looked,they were all in the same shape.
Vinnie,
You keep it all at your house. I'll PM you when I need something. :)

HAHA Yeah and Vucuum trees too! Lol Both doors on both of my cars did that dont worry, grease it regularly....thats what i do. lol the funny part is that I always got to blame it on ex because everytime they jammed, she did it! :rollin:
girls are hard on things like door puls, door handles, and latches ;) she's gonna kill me lmao
well mine acted like the door was so hard to open but she just wasnt strong enough to lift the handle use with wrist power so she yanked the outtta it, then i guess she thought she should slam it too... idk ill remember to ask her haha
They're big heavy doors...shouldn't slam 'em very hard...if stuff isn't lined up right, or worn out, you'll have problems, just as sure as there is shiznit in a cat....
