[Roadsters] Driver's side door latch - update

[BARTERDUDE at aol.com]

Interesting.  My son and I soaked the latch in brake cleaner, but that  
didn't do the job, but when we started feeling around in the inside of the door,  
we discovered an "adjustment" nut on the rod coming from the outside door  
handle.  After experimenting with the positioning, we discovered it was  best to 
set it tighter, and the locking mechanism stayed in place with more  
tensioning.  Apparently over the years of use the nut had backed off, thus  causing the 
latch to not stay in locked position when triggered.
 
FYI, we also sprayed white lithium grease on the mechanism after adjusting  
and everything works beautifully now.
 
Thanks for the suggestions.
