ok so in my girl's fb...( yes she is a keeper!!) the passenger side door acts crazy! in some cases we cant unlock it, you can never open it from the outside(except zach (FBII) did last night when we went to go get gas for his new turbo fb.) sometimes the window is really hard to roll down... and the scariest part... is sometimes when i take a hard turn the door just damn opens on its own!! and doesnt want to latch shut... the only way to prevent it from opening is to lock it after its closed.... needless to say my girl always wheres her seatbelt... iv been nusy working on my fb and i get tired of working on cars so i never get around to work on hers. except i wired a cd player into her glove box and that kicks ***! hahaha.

 

my brothers rx7 does the same thing...when he turns hard the passenger side door flys open, i almost **** my pants when that happened!

 

You might wanna take off the door panel and take a peek in there. If one of those plastic clips that holds all those rods for the mechanisims in there has broken, the rod(s) may just be flopping around in there causing problems such as jamming your window, not opening from the outside, and maybe if its jammed just right opening on its own. Thats about the best I can do. Obviously theres something broken in there, might as well pull it apart and try and figure out what .

Check the latch mechanism I just fixed a car with a similar problem and it was just a rust build up in the latch it self.

 

ill check it out tomorrow although its damn hot outside during the day

 

with that many problems.....you could almost just buy a new door. might be less hassle

 

Is it that blue FB that was parked at CPR a few weeks ago?

 

yea, that would be the one.

 

yeah seen that when the police practically raided the parking lot. I thought it was zac's until i was informed that it wasn't.

 

My passenger door had the same problem,I had to replace the handle because it was broken and then I found out why it broke.Someone forced the handle up because even when it sticks you can still feel a resistance on the outer handle,It felt like it wouldnt unlock,even with the key.Well we had to remove the seat and door panel to get to the latch,sprayed a butt-load of pb blaster and banged on it and it popped open,before it stuck shut it wouldnt latch at all,and when it finally did latch was when we couldnt get it open again.So I lubed it with lithium grease,checked the striker adjustment,,and all seems well.I also have the hard rolling problem on both my windows.I know the seals around the windows are shot,but I want to try to adjust the regulators first.Maybe my problems can help you out.
