The fix to Darren's door not latching was a simple cable
adjustment. The exterior door handle has a cable attached to it, which is intern
attach to central arm that controls the latches. His Delorean has the metal
upgraded exterior handle, but who ever installed it did not properly adjust
it.
To get to the adjustment, remove the upper door panel and mid
way down the door it will be staring you in the face.
His door will now stay latched as designed and he will not be
falling out any time soon.
So, as Joe has said, "The original system is an
excellent design and the hardware never seems to wear out. Door latch problems
usually don't start by themselves. Inexperienced hands are usually the culprit."
Drive your dream and everyone be safe,
