mcfly94 169 Posted April 8, 2013 What causes this and how do i fix it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XES 859 Posted April 8, 2013 Sounds like the handle is about stuffed. Pull the door skin off and have a look on the inside. Sounds like the linkage from the outer handle isn't pulling the latch up enough. I had this happen on mine and manged to get it sorted again but then a week later the ended up breaking. You might be able to adjust it out of it. 1 revhead reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bear351c 10,270 Posted April 10, 2013 As XES said "..Pull the door skin off and have a look on the inside." There are adjusting rods, inside the door cavity. Be careful disconnecting the plastic clips, as they can break when aged. New ones are still available, (FoMoCo/ebay/Auto stores), simply spin the rods in the nut, to lengthen or shorten the distance. Chances are, you'll have to change the door handle. Common prob with XD/E/F and Corty's. Door's drop over time, and people end up lifting the door to get it open. Handles not designed for this. Only 2 nuts holding the handle from the inside, so leave the door trim and rods off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
