[DML] Re: FW: Door Latches

[David Sontos <dsontos@xxxx>]

Put some grease on the top of the pin and close the door. Open the door
and look where the grease was, can you see where the latch hit the pin?
The latch should be hitting the center of the pin. One of the pins in my
car had to be shimmed out 0.200", the latch wasn't even hitting the pin.
