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

Yes, I am fighting with my "Bitch" on that very same issue...
There is / was no spring to my knowledge... just corrosion.
I have been using a special fluid that has seemed to help, also worked great
for the stiff doors.

I will post the product when I can get to my garage.
