[DML] Driver's door does not latch

[Iznodmad@xxxx]

I have known for a while that my doors are not exactly the best as far as 
lining up correctly and closing properly, but this takes the cake. It turns 
out that my drivers side door does not latch down at all! I discovered this 
while driving it this weekend and hitting a large bump, and then hearing both 
latches rattle. Since I have had the car, I would notice the door coming 
open just a little while driving at higher speeds such that I could look out 
the back corner and see the road. I have been thinking that the front latch 
was latching down properly. But tonight after putting the D up for the 
night, I reached to open the door and missed the door handle, but I still 
opened the door! To clarify, I can open the door not even using the handle, 
just by pulling up on the body moldings! Quite frankly this frightens me. 
All this time, the door could have come open at highway speeds and then I 
would not have a door. So I guess my question is, what can I do to adjust 
the latches? I think it has to do with the tension on the door handle. 
Whoever installed the metal door handle updates didn't do too well putting it 
all back together. It's way too loose!!! I would use the door locks, but 
the drivers door likes to stay in the locked position. Yes the solonoid is 
more or less burnt in the lock position. And yes I have disconnected the 
central locking mechanism, but the damage has been done already by the 
previous owner(s).

Thank you,
