Howdy,
I thought I needed new outside handles, as I had to lift them all the way up before the door would open. Before buying them, I decided to take off the inside panels and see what kind of job it would be. The handles looked OK,and I saw there was a screw adjustment on the arm connecting the outside handle to the latch. Took it off, and found out tightening it made it worse, but loosening it worked! Got so excited, I did both doors, so now I have doors that open on the Samurai more like a real car.
This is probably a dumb post, as I am probably the only one on the board who did't know about the adjustment. I was so excited, I put everything back together without taking pictures.
I have the thin plastic pieces that fit over the top of the door, next to the window. They are in good shape, but one has a crack in it that I glued. It is fine, but is there a place to buy these? This is on my 87 Samurai.
