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.

Your car door wont close?

Your car door latch could be either frozen if your in a cold climate or just turned into the latched position. With car door open lift handle to free latch. Now turn latch ( a curved metal assembly with a spring ) to the open position. You will know it is positioned rite when you can see the opening in this curved assembly. Now close door as usual. If assembly is frozen, you may have to repeat this proceedure several times or apply some heat , possably a hair dryer to latch mechanism to free it up. Hope this was helpful Bill in upstate NY
