desperate

[Smokey]

can anyone help, the lock inside the door card for my door is knackered and isnt shuting at all let alone locking.

It seems the pin isnt keeping it shut and the door is always open.

Has anyone got a spare as im worried the car is being left open all day and night.

I need to get this sorted asap b4 someone tries something shifty.

any help will be much apprectiated.

Thanks. Mat

do you mean the pin inside the door shut? does the latch lock if you use a screwdriver to shut it?

Adjust the catch on the shell use a Torx screw to do it may take some fettling to get it right.

my raider had this problem, even new door catch pins didn't solve it, ended up jacking up the doors as they had dropped, now when they are fully dropped they are lined up... shuts first time now

Pin on the door shut is fine, its the lock / latch that is fubar, i had it out the weekend.

If you run a screw driver into the side of the latch to replicate the pin on the door shut, you can just pull it straight back out again, its not holding the pin / locking

Needs a new one

A load of wd40 & working the mech in/out with a screwdriver fixes them;)

try warming the mechanism up with a paint stipping heat gun, whilst spraying in the WD40. it happened to mine too years ago, the grease goes like rubber/plastic and gums the whole lock up!

thanks chaps i did go get a new lock but before i fitted it i messed around with the dodgey one using the WD40 worked a right treat so it was a waste of time going up to CGB but was good boosting non the less.

Thanks
