64 Avanti driver side door latch issue

[Earl]

Hello All,

My 64 Avanti driver side door has recently started to unlatch due to road vibration while driving. The door will latch and unlatch normally with the use of door handles and will not open when forcefully pushed on from inside. But when in motion with road vibration the door latch will continually pop thus allowing the door to open. Any thoughts on troubleshooting are appreciated. Thanks.

Sounds like a very worn latch or striker or possibly both.

I had that happen and it only got worse. Dan Booth had NOS latches assemblies and that solved all my problems..The latches were literally worn out.
