Door Latch ?

[Quick Pony]

I had the pin fixed on the lower door hinge on my 1991 LX 5.0 convertible.
The pin had partially come out of the hinge and when I opened the door you could feel the passenger door fall slightly.

Everthing seemed fine, no more door sagging and the lower hinge looks fine.

What I noticed yesterday that when I close the passenger door it does not close tight enough. I can actually push on the door from the outside and the door will make a tighter seal!! But once I stop pushing on the door it goes back to where it was.

Is the latch on the door itself adjustable? Any ideas on what it needs?

Thanks

Larry

sounds like the striker is going to **** on the latch, looks like a little plastic cover over the round latch portion attached to the car

Yes, the striker is adjustable.

You'll need a t-45 or t-50 torx. Just loosen it and you can wiggle it around a bit. Just keep playing with it until you get it to where you like it.

If the bushing is worn, you can buy a new one at Autozone.
