[dave cock]

Hi All
I have a 1986 1.6TD , whatever i seem to do and where ever i go the Sliding door comes open , I have tried & Tried to adjust it , I have replaced various different parts but still it continues to open itself , I even fitted a secondary clip handle on the inside but still it open's !!! it is now driving me absolutely crazy , is there anybody out there than has any tips on adjustment or indeed a cure for this unbelievably annoying problem , i will take some pics a bit later to show the type of locking system it's got !

Please please please Help

thanks in advance for any replies.

The rear catch will be the problem, do a search on here for some answers.

My own one did this when I bought it and my rear catch was worn on the 2nd part of the locking arm. Also could just be gunked up with dried in crud/grease. Take it off, give it a good clean check that it's not showing too much wear and give it a light oil before putting it back in.

I've had a similar problem, just discovered it is only locking to the first click.

I had this problem, the rear latch, so I bought a replacement (Still have it) tried to get the old one off one screw came off easily the other wouldn't no matter how hard I hit it (very hard) now it works fine, so I would advise (well in my case) hit it very hard with screw driver with steel striaght throughand it will be fine.
