Default OT - van door latch

What you may need to do is take the door apart, clean the components and

it won't last forever should not wear off in a day or two either.

When you get the door open you may find one of the pieces to be deformed
slightly and the cause of your problem.

That said, taking a door apart is usually a PITA.


This one isn't too bad. It's a work van,
and I've had plenty of door panels off.

I'd not considered deformed. Could be.
Sadly, the lubes I've tried each last
about a week. After I get all the old
crud out, I may pack it with wheel bearing
grease.
