Hi All,

I know this topic was discussed recently, but I couldn't find the posts. Apologies for rehashing.

The door on my 76 PB has the apparently typical symptom of not closing completely unless you slam it. It will latch if you close it gently, but it's 1/8" or so off the frame.

IIRC the diagnosis was a worn stud on the plate that attaches to the frame. But frankly, I'm skeptical. Wiggling the post only gives about .020 play, and it just seems like there must be something also worn in the latch mechanism in the door itself.

Before I shell out the $30 for the new plate, somebody please convince me that's the solution, or perhaps suggest some additional troubleshooting I might do to narrow it down?

Thanks
