David,
Some of your information is correct but I strongly disagree with your
suggestion of adjusting the STRIKER PINS part#110068 which I believe you
refer to as "anchor pins". The owner, Duke, indicated that door operates
correctly from inside the car which indicates that the problem is not
related to the striker pins.
I emphasize this point because it is not advisable to suggest a striker pin
adjustment unless you are absolutely certain that this is the cause of the
problem. As you well know improper striker pin adjustments can cause serious
problems ranging from door jams to damage to the door latch assembly.
Check my earlier post for the adjustment that is associated with the
original exterior door opening problem.
Respectfully,
DMC Joe

Subject: [DML] Re: Door rod adjustment?
Generally there is not any one particular rod out of adjustment. I usually
see where you have to tweak everything. When everything is only slightly off
it all seems to add up and cause problems. The "best" plan-of-attack is to
just go over ALL of the adjustments including the anchor pins. Anyway, when
you start adjusting things some adjustments affect others so you really need
to do them all and in the order in the Workshop Manual. Do all the internal
door adjustments and then do the anchor pins. Take your time and try to
really get it *right*. You will see a big difference between a door that
closes when you slam it and one that closes correctly. If you do it right
you should not be able to lock it unless it is fully closed on both locks in
the 2nd locking position. You also won't be banging on the anchor pins when
you close the door, they should glide right into the middle of the lock
without hitting the guides or the door, or the ends of the pins. It takes a
lot of trial-and-error to get it right (at least for the first time). Be
careful inside the door on all the exposed, sharp edges.

ABOVE POSTS WERE IN RESPONSE TO:
"I've been having a slight problem out of my passenger side door. Sometimes
I have a problem with it opening from the outside. It seems to open fine
from the inside, just the outside has a problem. It seems to hang more
towards the front of the car. The back will, most of the time, start to
open, but gets hung up on the front side. Could anyone tell me exactly what
rod to adjust to help solve this problem?"
Thanks for any help!
Duke
