Fixing an old sticky door.

Post by pushx »

So I've had a rattly driver-side door that doesn't like to close for a while. I had a mechanic recently tell me it was probably just out of alignment with the latch pin. After screwing around with it for ages, I couldn't find an issue with the latch pin, the door pins, sagging, or anything. Then I run across this guy who says there's apparently supposed to be a bushing on that pin. I put some PEX tubing on it and just like that....fixed!

I love simple fixes.

I think those tubing comes in black, but maybe that is only for smaller diameter ones.
