Nothing visibly indoor. Ask me questions to get at the heart of the matter because I'm not mechanically inclined way2old Veteran / Moderator Dec 5, 2007, 5:21 AM Post #2 of 3 (2264 views) Re: Car door will not close Sign In try holding the outer door handle in the open position and look at the latch area. You should see an opening between 2 semi round pieces of metal. If these pieces are touching, use a screwdriver to move them apart. The door should close. Then look to see if the latch is lining up with the metal pin that sticks out of the car. If it doesn't, either a hinge is bad, or maybe you can adjust the pin to center in the latch and the door will work. Being way2old is why I need help from younger minds Tom Greenleaf Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Dec 5, 2007, 6:46 AM Post #3 of 3 (2263 views) Re: Car door will not close Sign In To add: If this is in cold weather with recent precip as where I am - moisture can be the issue. WD-40 can help. Put car in warm garage. Hair, blow dryer on latch etc. The WD-40 tends to prevent the moisture from getting in the door side parts of the latch and best done from inside the door if a real problem, T (11 degrees F. just west of Boston overnight 12-5-2007)   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
