Last night my recently retrieved from temporary retirement '79 245 started to give me problems. My girlfriend got locked in the passengers side and I had to let her out by open the door from the outside. This has happenned before but not often. When I attempted to shut the door it would not latch. I fiddled with the latch a couple of times and the door closed fine.

When I openned the passenger door this morning, no ammount of fidling woul make the latch work. I tried lifting up the door and slamming...I won't bore you with the details. The latch portion rotates correctly but does not appear to "lock" in place. When I work the latch with the door open it does lock into position.

Am I most likely looking at a problem it the latch, sagging door or inside door release assembly?

Thanks for the help,

Thanks,

Mike
