Just going by the question...I would say that the latch has gotten in "the closed door position". Be sure that the door is unlocked. With your finger lift out on the latch on the end of the door and use the door handle to "open" the door latch.

It is probably not closing fully. Take a proper size torx socket and loosen the fasteners on both the striker and the latch. There should be some adjustment there. Once the catch can grasp the striker fully it will be secure........1930fcoupe

Car door wont shut on a 1994 Ford T-bird- Only closes when the latch on side of door that holds onto metal bar on car frame is flipped up- any suggestions?

If the door will not close on a 1994 Ford Thunderbird unless the latch is flipped up, the latch is gummed up. Spray the latch with WD-40 or Liquid Wrench to free up the latch mechanism. A door that is out of alignment will also cause this type of problem. Check the hinge and inspect for cracks that might allow the door to droop.
