Hello!
Check the attached photo.

The whole ordeal could do with being described a bit better?
It doesn't lock shut? (Can be opened at any time?)
It doesn't latch shut? (Won't actually close/latch lock?)
Sorry
@KingyMAK! I pressed "Post" suddenly! And now I'm not able to edit it! Can't see any options.
Q: It doesn't lock shut? (Can be opened at any time?)
A: Yes, it simply doesn't shut; thus, sometimes, it shuts, half! If I push it smoothly it finally shuts! After some tries!
Q: It doesn't latch shut? (Won't actually close/latch lock?)
A: It does. It stands shut.
Can you see in the photo, the plastic that surrounds the hook is damaged; looks like it was bitten. It's normal, the car is 16 yold with a lot of hardwork.
What do you think about this?
A new lock?
Have you tried to oil/grease up the mechanism at all?
I did not
@KingyMAK, but I'm going to do it and I'll give you news soon.
Thank you!
Trim the protruding plastic off with Stanley blade and give it a lube,if that don't work new latch is required.
Is the rubber weatherseal fitted properly allowing the door to fully close, or has the striker plate become loose or need adjustment?
@johnnyroper @KingyMAK WD-40 solved the problem.
Thank you!!
:D
