"The door opens great using the inside handle, but the latch seems to drag when using the outside handle."

Jeff perhaps this is a dumb comment and I'm speaking from a memory 50 years ago, but on dad's 23rd series when it became my car in high school I found that the outside handle wore and didn't correctly engage the latch.

What had started as a square place on the inner part of the handle had worn rounded. A fellow braised some metal rod on the inner workings of the handle and shaped it back to the proper shape and the doors opened much better.

Anyone else have some comments on that idea?
