Door Flies Open
I have an early '30 Coupe. In decent shape
When I drive her, the drivers door latch gives way, and the leaves the striker plate and catches on the body. Then with the next bump the door flies open, particularly if I am turning right.
Both the striker plat and the lath had wear.
I changed the door latch mechanism with a new one from a parts supplier. No change in action.
I replaced the striker plate. Slight improvement, but problem still existed.
I ground a flat spot onto latch and I had a dramatic improvement, but the door will still fly open if I drive long enough.
Please help. Any suggestions?
