    Default Issue with drivers door latch

    the door latch wants to close after you open the door, so when you close the door, it just bangs off the latch. any ideas?

    The door hinges are worn. Take a couple of shims from the bottom hinge and put them in the top. That will raise it up enough to close properly

    if you are talking about the actual handel itself i beleive there is a screw behind the handle.pull the handle like you are opening the door and you should be able to see it.

    There are three on that panel. Usually colored back to hide them
