thank you my friend. here in michigan it gets cold. and my door latch
FROZE. Your method worked instantly without adding heat or anything(i added
lock de icer hoping it will hold up rather than wd40). Thanks again. hell
ill even subscribe :)
you saved me at 2 am in the morning. God bless you
If the mounting bracket is wobbly. How would I fix that?
Apparently Tauruses are known for this problem in cold weather, and I’ve
been known to tie my door to the frame with yarn in the winter. This video
finally showed me how to get it working again, without having to wait for
Spring. Thank you so much!
Thanks a lot for posting this video. I just got done doing this to a ’95
Jeep, and it worked. I spared a trip to a garage too. Thanks!
Thankyou saved me a trip to the garage with someone stretching across
keeping the door shut and stopped me going nuts!
Thank you so much man!!!! You saved me from being to work late !!! It gets
pretty cold here in NY
I have a ford fiesta 2012 and im having the same problem and i saw that it
wont lock because of that piece… If i do it like you did maybe it will
fix?
Thank you so much, my mom’s door not latching was the icing on the cake to
so many car problems, and we were able to fix it without taking in it or
breaking anything trying to do it ourselves with no guidance. Woo!!!
OMG!!!! it worked on a 2006 HHR thank you so muchh!!!!
Thanks, had this problem while trying to leave work. Had to borrow a
flathead screwdriver from a co-worker. Better keep one in the car now.
THANK YOU!!! Bitter cold snap and my car lock froze. I was messing around
trying to get it unfrozen, and flipped the interior lock. So frozen and
flipped. With heat and your video, I was able to fix the car lock. Thanks
so much for taking the time to do this.
Excellent video… I have a 02′ Ford Focus in which the front passenger
door won’t OPEN/unlock! I cannot remove the inside panel to troubleshoot
the problem. I believe the lock actuator need to be replaced, how do I get
the door open?
You saved my day! Thanks!
THANK YOU…OMG…..
THANK YOU!!!!!!! 2000 Ford Taurus
Very important fix. Thanks
Thank you a million times for this video – we’re having a huge snow storm
here in NB with high winds – you can imagine how stressful it was wondering
what we were going to do other than anticipate a car full of snow in the
morning! This fixed our issue in the blink of an eye (Gotta give a
shout-out to the demo car – it’s exactly what we have! 🙂 ) You saved the
day!!
It works!!! I saved alot of money by switching to backyardmech!! You are a
God send, thank you!

96 Explorer driver’s side door thanks you
I have the same problem with my 98 Pontiac firebird. thanks now I can fix
it
thanks for the info thought it was the latch but come to find out it was
the stud the latch closes on set the right position
and tightened with a T-50 tork driver on a breaker bar . door closes like
a bank vault now.
Thank you so much, I tried to figure it out on my own got two doors
stuck… This helped me fix it in about two minutes
I’ve got a 1948 f1 ford with the door stuck shut. Help please?
hmm…i have a ford mondeo 96 that the front right door wont close, im
gonna try your method, hopefully works
You are a lifesaver! My sister’s Honda Odysey was giving me this problem
today. Thanks for posting.
thank you!
what do you recommend for the lubricant here?
Thank you, you saved the day for me!! :D
Never commented on a video before, but this one completely saved me! The
step by step instructions and visuals made fixing this so easy. It has been
a big issue for me since I live in a place where the winter weather is
terrible! Thanks again.
Mine was being an extra pain because of a vinyl coating on the latch
mechanism, but I finally persuaded it. Thanks!
I love you. You are my Lord ans savior.
thanks a lot :)
This worked perfectly!!!!! I tried to fix my driver door and ended up
breaking the passenger door as well. I thought I was screwed. Saw this
video and it told me EXACTLY what to do! Now my doors close! Thank you!
