I bought a TR6 yesterday (woohoo) with a few minor challenges. One of which is the driver's side door latch. Before I played with it a bit, one of two things would happen. It would either stay latched/locked but not all the way tight to the car, or it would not latch at all.
I took the latch mechanism (part FE17 at https://trf.zeni.net/TR6greenbook/index.php?page=48) off the door to see what was going on. First, the locking mechanism wire/rod was a bit bent, and interfering with the latch. A little minor bending and that is fixed.
But it still fights latching. I can manually make it work. There is a "lever" on the latch mechanism on the part that is inside the door. It is actuated by a screw that comes out of the push button on the door handle. The idea is if you push the outside door button, it presses on the "lever" which releases the latch. Once pressed though, it stays pressed and I can't close the door again. If I push that lever back out from the "depressed" position, the door will close and latch again. It seems like it should be spring loaded and reset itself? Any of you run into this? SHould it be spring loaded, and the spring is busted?
I know this is hard to understand in words. Next time I take it apart I will take pictures.
