Door handle problems
I have a 90gt now my driver side door handles inside and out are acting up. 1st off my driver side has trouble shutting and gettiing latched you have to almost slam it for it to close and it still sticks out a little bit which I noticted when I installed some new door to body weatherstriping. 2nd my handle inside driver side will pop the lock from locked to open but wont open the door I have to reach out to the outside handle which will only open if you push down on it well you get my point these things are on there way out and was wondering if any of you guys replaced both handles on a door before and if so please help or maybe some advice.

as far as your door not closing right you might check your hinge pins and make sure there not worn. if you can pick up on the back corrner of the door and wiggle it up and down they are probably shot.

Hey Scrapla, check the bushing thing on the the sticker and make sure its still there and like aar0s mentioned check the hinge bushings. The inside handle sounds like its worn out Also could be the little plastic clips are worn that hold the rod to latch. Either way youve got to much movement in the handle
