Alignment of the latch strikes, door tracks, flush fit, and height, can be pretty involved. Define 'fix'. Mine was making a terrible, metal-tometal grinding sound when used. I had to replace the top slider (I think there are three - one on top, and one in the middle and , of course, one on the bottom -- so check them all!). It was a bit of a bear to do by myself, but it was worth it. The part cost me about $30. If it is stuck shut try this. I have a 1991 Aerostar that had the same problem. You have to remove the inside door panels. follow the door mechanism from the front to the back (You won't be able to see it at the back) What I did was to cut a small hole (1-2 inches) near the back of the door to be able to see the rod. I found that were the rod connects to an "L" shaped part the "L" was bent outwards (toward the outside of the door). By bending it back towards the inside of the door I was able to get the door open. I had the same problem on MY 91 Aerostar and that was the fix it needed.....and gave me an excuse to buy the Dremel I always wanted.....lol. After cutting the access hole I was able to see the rod was bent. Thanks!
