Mk2 ford focus - Front passenger door issue - Tony Norcott

Hi all

After some help, brought my partner a mk2 ford focus as a runaround.

There's a issue with the passenger door, it doesn't fully shut unless you really slam the door or lean on the door heavily. It also opens when driving, it doesn't fully open but enough so you can hear the road noise and it brings on the interior lights.

I've tried to adjust the strike plate on the collum and greased the latch, the seems OK when played with with a screwdriver. Haven't had time to strip the door apart yet ??

Any advice would be appreciated its driving me nuts

Cheers

I would say the door latch is in trouble. Looks like the secondary lock mechanism is worn . Cheap and easy to replace with s/hand parts .

Cheers for the reply.

Been trying to find second hand latches online but no luck so far ??
