Bwales Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 I have been digging through the archives with no luck I am trying to source a little spring that pulls the latch mechanism back into position inside the door. It wraps around what I would call the striker cylinder? I tried to snap a photo but it is nearly impossible to see. I can tell it is missing as my passenger door still has one intact. The cylinder will just turn freely without it. This I believe is preventing my door from latching. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unterbergamotten3 Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 You need to get the latch assembly. spring only not available. Check the bottom of your door with a magnet. Maybe its there> Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z240 Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 The spring usually breaks. I can post of picture of how its supposed to look if you want to try to source a generic spring. Shame to have to buy a complete latch assembly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bwales Posted June 14, 2017 Author Share Posted June 14, 2017 I don't plan on buying a whole set. My plan is to source a single spring. I noticed in my search that there seems to be a door latch with spiral springs? Must be for a 280 door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
