Why is my car door not shutting
The latch is used to close the door, the glovebox, the centre console, the boot and the lid, and then to open the element when the latch is released. This common part has a common problem, which is that the lock does not work if it is closed when the door or object is open. This is because the firing pin, which should be in the lock, is held on the outside while the firing pin bounces off the back of the lock. On the opposite side of the latch is a striker in which the latch is suspended to hold a particular object in the locked position.
WHO IS THE CHILD?
After the lock is released, the firing pin can slide freely out of the lock, allowing the door to open. Sometimes, when the lock is open, a bounce effect can occur, which can cause the lock to close shortly after the firing pin is released, so that the door or object cannot be closed after it is opened. If you try to close the door, it will bounce back quickly and then remain open.
HOW MUCH DOES THIS COST?

RECOMMEND
1. Check the locking mechanism
Check the door lock to determine if it is in the open or closed position. You will notice this because you will see an open space surrounded by the lock. This is the open space where the sticker is usually placed after the door is closed.
2. open the lock
Keep the door handle open with a screwdriver in the lock. Remove the screwdriver from the door lock. This will open the door lock again. This process is simple, so you can use almost anything to pick the lock.
When you release the door lock, the door will return to normal operation. Close and open the door again to confirm the repair and you are ready to go.
