Subject:Back on the list - Sliding door won't latch
From:Mark Mages
Date:Thu, 14 Feb 2002 10:28:25 -0800

Hey there - I'm back (not that you missed me) after
about a year.  Nothing too exciting has happened with
the van, but I'm about to start getting dirty.  The
plans for the future include building a subwoofer box
and new front panel (integrated) for the rear seat.
The cylinder head gaskets look like they will survive
the summer, but must be redone before next winter.

The order of business for today is:

My sliding door will not latch.  I picked up some
idiot hitchhikers who slammed my door a couple of
times when they were getting out, and now it doesn't
want to latch at all.  I almost lost my girlfriends
v-day present when it flew open on the way to work.

It will latch if I am EXTREMELY gentle sliding it, and
then push it in to get it to hold... with the lock
engaged.

I searched the archives, and came up with the same
problem, but no solution.

Help.

Thanks!
