In the past few days I noticed that my L/H front door wouldn't always close shut when needed.
All it needed was some lubrification,but not from the outside....
This is the gap and it shouldn't be this way.
As you can clearly see the door handle does not go all the way back once the door is closed.
Now lets remove all the necessary parts to remedy this situation.
Then the door lock knob,simply unscrew.
First off is the chrome bezel around the door latch.Using a Phillips screw driver.
Put your parts and all the screws in a secure container magnetize if you have one.
Remove the trim...
Now the plastic trim surrounding the inside door handle.Use a small flat head screw driver and insert it very gently not to damage it and pry off.
Once the trim is removed,there is a small screw behind it and that needs to be unscrewed.
Now pull gently on the outer trim around the door handle and you will notice a larger Phillips screw behind it.This needs to be removed also.
There are two large Phillips screws holding the arm rest in place,they are located under the arm rest and in the center arm rest.They need to be removed.
Below the door trim there are also three screws in place they need to be removed.
The seat adjustment switch front cover is removed and two Phillips screws are holding the switch in place,remove the screws.
Gently lift the door trim and push it to the side, careful for the wire feeding the door light under the trim panel.
This is were we will add some lubrification.
Put everything back together the same way it came off.....
Behind the door lock mechanism...I simply used a silicon spray and generously added some in behind the latch and on the door handle mechanism.
Sorry for the blurry pictures....But you get the message.
This only took a few minutes...Hope is was helpful.
