Re: Door wan't latch? 200 79

Actually, I'd just turn up the stereo.










But if that didn't help, I'd lube the hell outta the latch mechanism. 10-W40, not ATF, and after saturating the mechanism I'd blast it with the air gun to push the oil into the crevices. And then I'd clean my glasses. And wipe up all the oil dripping on the garage floor.

Also, the external latch—on the door—can be removed (the screws thread into the internal mechanism), disassembled, and cleaned 'n lubed.
