1994 Chev. Lumina with "stuck" door
Hi,
We have a 1994 Chev. Lumina 4 door sedan. The driver side door doesn't open easy (feels like it is "stuck"). For me, it isn't a problem, but my wife uses two hands, and she struggles. I had tried two different lubes on all moving parts of the door, which include hinges, and the latch. Also, I cleaned all the rubber molding (molding in good shape) and applied three different lubricants (turtle wax, silicon spray, & vaseline) at different times, but the door still has that "stuck" feeling, but not all the time. Note: This problem is not weather related. Anyone have the same experience with this model or similar car? Thanks in advance, Brad Before you type your password, credit card number, etc., be sure there is no active keystroke logger (spyware) in your PC. |

How did you grease the latch? Did you remove the door panel and actually grease the mechanism or did you just try and get to it from the outside? If you pull up on the door, does it open more easily? If you look very carefully at the door hinge, can you see any small cracks? --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |
