ronnie johhhnnn Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get rid of the annoying feature on my 87 wagon? I dont want to have to hold the handle up anymore to lock the doors. The driver side isnt bad but when you try to do it on the passenger side, it is hard to close the door. It ends up being a big hassle because the dome light will stay on and my battery will get low. Ive got the door apart right now but it looks more complicated than i thought. I was thinking it would just be some tab i could break off or somethign but i cant see anything like that. Any help would be appreciated. -----------------I figured it out, Not too hard actually. All I had to do was bend a small piece of metal. Now, I need to make sure I never lock my keys in the car or I'll kick my own rump roast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All_talk Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 I'm sure there is a way but I haven't looked at it. It is awkward to hold the handle up and close (specially with the air tight 3-door RX)... I just use the key. Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cause your description doesnt quite help the rest of the folks that might be interested in doing this too. As for me, I'm just used to lifting the handle. I also keep a slipjim ziptied to my undercarriage in case I ever get locked out. :cool: But more information would help others... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronnie johhhnnn Posted December 29, 2004 Author Share Posted December 29, 2004 hmmmm... I got it all back together already but I should have it apart in the next couple weeks. I'm going to be putting new speakers in so I'll take some pictures then. I also need to learn how to add pictures to my post. The only advice I can give now is to move the door latch with your finger and see what moves from the inside. The thing you need to bend is the thing in the middle that seems to move the least. Ill get a picture up when I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
