Needed Driver's Side Lock

[dswalterwi at earthlink.net (Don Walter)]

Yep, Instead of using my finger and getting grease onit I use the end of my key as I am getting out.  It just can't lift itself enough.  It's like it's saying "I can't get it up".  must be male doors.

Hey Don,
I have the same problem. I figure it must be a boken spring in there, although I haven't opened it up yet. When i open the door,
the lever fops down instead of staying open to catch the latch. I have to manually move it up(it stays up) .
