<VV> Re: [FC] Door Latch

[J R Read_HML]

Occasionally mine does not close correctly.  I turn the star wheel on the 
door a notch and it then closes fine.  Sometimes I have to hold the button 
in while turning that gear.  Since this usually "fixes" the problem, I've 
never dug any deeper into it.

OK guys, I'm at wits end.  The passenger door on my Rampy has never wanted 
to latch properly.  You close the door and give a pull and it pops part way 
open.  My thinking was the latch inside the door, so I go to my parts truck 
pull the latch out and re-install it in the Rampy.  I give a pull and the 
door pulls open.  So back to the parts truck I go and pull the part off of 
the door frame and install it on the Rampy.  I give another pull and she 
pops part way open.  I've adjusted the thing to about every adjustment I can 
think of and to no avail.  What am I doing wrong?  The latch worked great 
when it was on the parts truck so I know it is not the problem.
