22 Series Door Latch Repair

Posted by Michal On 2011/5/22 0:40:36

Hello Folks,

Have most major kinks worked out on my 2272 and have been driving daily for a few months now. Made a couple 6 hour freeway trips without a hick-up... and quite comfortably I must say. Now it's time to work on more little things...

First up: my 2 front doors won't close and latch nearly as smoothly as the rears and I think it's rounding of the rotating assembly in the door that looks like a big 4-toothed cog. What's the repair for this issue? I think someone out there brazed the worn areas & built the "shoulders" of the cog up again but my skills aren't quite that good.

Those replacement kits that come up on eBay any good? Gotta be a common problem with door latches after so many years of use.

Thanks for any advice.
