Door Not Closing Properly on 240D
The rear left passenger door is not closing properly on my 1979 240D. I am about to take it to the local shop to get it looked at, but thought I would see if anyone on here had any tips.
The vacuum lock doesn't drop all the way down, and the door is not ajar, but not flush. When driving you can hear the wind whistling in. There doesn't appear to be any blockage in the latches on the door or the body itself that would cause this. The rest of the doors lock fine. I just put some fresh tires on 'Old Blue' and am ready to take him for some long runs now the weather is a bit nicer... just want to get the door sorted out first. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

I had a similar problem with the driver door on my '77. It was a few years ago that I fixed it, but I remember making an adjustment with either the striker or something on the latch mechanism. Also, you might want to add a little lube to the latch. They do dry up and get sticky after a while.
