Door shutting too far, then won't open
I was fitting my driver door on to check gaps after welding in the new floor panels, rockers/hinge pins. Truck has never had the rubber bumpers, so both doors have always had a little play when latched (you can push them in maybe 1/4). Only this time the driver door wouldn't release. I was able to open it finally by pulling the bottom of the door out while attempting to open.
Just curious what might have changed? My latches haven't been adjusted and the truck didn't do it before the door patch and floor patches. However, all the gaps look good, it opens/closes fine. The door had bad hinge pins and sagged before which could be why it never had that problem. Someone could have adjusted them due to the sagging door.
Should I just loosen the latch and adjust it slightly? Just curious on what it's getting stuck on in the latch mechanism so I have an idea where to start.
