de Noir 0 Posted February 20, 2007 Has anyone encountered the following issue: Drivers door opens by itself during the drive. This happened many times on a straight but more so in right corners/turnings: This was both nasty and funny: I had to steer right AND grab to the left for the door which just opened and gone wide! When locked, everything was fine. And almost forgot, door had worn door pins and closed properly after many "forced negotiations". I'm about to assemble the doors back and would like to take care of it. Pins are new and door now aligns perfectly. Is this a door-lock thing, lock-door alignment thing or an opening handle spring gone weak? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pug_ham 244 3 Cars Posted February 20, 2007 Probably a lock or door handle thing. I've known the passenger side door handles to stick making them difficult to lock / unlock the door but this was on car that hardly had a passenger in so they were rarely used. Take the handle off the door & clean / oil the mechanism on the back of the handle so it moves effortlessly & spray some oil in the lock. Graham. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
de Noir 0 Posted February 20, 2007 Thanks for the tip, I was about to do exactly the same thing. Clean and oil everything and assemble. If still no good, I have two more locks from broken 309 in the stash, they were fine at the time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
