Thread: door locks adjustment help - 90 RRC

The plastic lock lever can bind in the plastic retainer guide ... you have to clean it all in soapy water and make sure it slides up / down in the guide freely ... put all the trim back on and recheck that it moves up / down freely

Other than that ... you basically take the lock out of the door / clean & relube it /play & ajust the locking actuator spring at the locking mechanism

Take the door trim panel off and pull the button up / down while watching how the lock and the spring works ....

That silly looking over centric spring is a popular problem. Done three in mine http://www.aulro.com/afvb/projects-t...placement.html

At Least you don't need a lap top to fix it

Laptop! perfect.. was thinking of throwing one through the window - at least be able to get in....

The silly overcentric thing is the issue I think - the inner handle is dragging the sill button down - hard to describe but obvious the whole shebang is coming out for a scrub

Thanks - great advice. Just need to find a couple of midgets- or a tin opener for the door skin!

will post pictures of the carnage

With the over centric cam thing - W/shop manual and visual indicate that's attached to the door frame with one of those nylon plugs that's fixed via a knock -in plug?? (same as the plastic sill rivets..)??
So that's a throwaway item? or bodgable?
