Title: Door won't close/latch
Post by: RolandL on 04 January 2016, 19:10:21

Greetings,

looking for a quick easy fix for this problem (trying to avoid stripping the door down)  The drivers door on my Omega won't latch. When you try to close it just "bounces" off the rubbers. I have checked the little black cam in the lock mechansim and it is fine, doesn't impeed the closing. It did this a couple of weeks ago and after a couple of tries it closed, but now won't. Have checked the outside door handle and there is resistance, but, when you move the little black cam round it is supposed to lock and be released by lifting the handle, it doesn't lock in place. 

Hope that makes sense.

Anyone out there got any brainwaves

Best wishes and a Happy New year

Roland

What happens if you try to latch the striker with a screwdriver, door open?

Any recent lock work?

Won't latch when you try to do it manually
And no recent lock work
