Drivers Door Issue

[Kenny Hunnicutt]

My drivers door has become hard to open for about the last month. When I lift the handle, I can feel it try to release but then I have to pull the *&@# out of it to get it open. I afraid Im going to break the handle opening it. I hit it with some WD-40 but that didnt help. It feels like the latch isnt coming up high enuf to clear the pin. Its not the door sagging, that was my first thought. Is there any adjustment I could make? Any thoughts? :banghead:

I have the exact same issue. It is worse in the colder weather, but yeah exact same thing as you. I have not had time to come up with a fix yet, but i think something needs to be adjusted inside the door as the handle is not fully releasing.

May not be your case but the door release remote controls (handle) are real bad to break the lever the rod attaches to. They tend to bend/distort before they break off.

Lube the hell out of the latch that holds the door shut.

Ok, I guess I dont feel so bad, knowing Im not the only one with this issue! I guess Ill try the lube thing tomorrow.

Use white lithium..WD40 isn't a good lubricant..its a great water displacer. WD disipates to quickly..use something that will stick around a bit...
