Door latch - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a problem I don't understand. Sometimes my drivers door will not latch tight. It does latch on the safety(?) position. Repeatedly closing it will not get it to close tight. If I pull up on the interior handle and then spin the little gear thingy on the door latch, it will usually close. Sometimes I have to do this several times to get the door to close tight. Then the problem doesn't show up again for a week---month---longer. Anybody know what I need to replace? Thanks in advance. Sometimes I don't know what I'd do without this board. Larry
