Look in the rear edge of the door. Above the latch you will find a small hole, about 3/16" dia. There was originally a plastic plug in that hole. Remove the plug and dribble some oil down inside the door. It should work its way to the latch mechanism. Put the plug back in the hole. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
