[s-cars] re: Drivers door, latch needed. Does anybody have a good spare?

[chris chambers]

Dwayne,

The "locking lever" in my latch mechanism flops around loose with no
pressure on it. It looks as if the spring that is supposed to apply
pressure on it has failed.
Slamming the door wouldn't latch it, but if I pressed in far with a
screwdriver it would latch.

What were your symptoms?

Thanks
Chris
