The reasons why the car door fails to close include: displacement of the door hinge or lock clip, malfunction of the door lock, or failure of the door handle. Below are detailed explanations and solutions: Displacement of the door hinge or lock clip: Use a T-20 spline to remove the small cover of the door handle. Open the door, and there is a small hole on the door edge. Use the T-20 spline to loosen the screw inside, allowing the small cover of the door handle to be removed by hand. Then, you will see the cable inside stuck in the slot of the door handle. If the cable is tightly stretched, it will be more difficult to open the door. Therefore, adjusting the cable to be slightly looser will help. Malfunction of the door lock: The locking mechanism of the door has changed, causing the car door to fail to close. When removing the door lock, you need to dismantle the control device of the door lock and remove the fixing clip between the control device and the lock device. After installing a new lock, repeated adjustments are necessary until the door can open and close normally. Failure of the door handle: The reason is that the cable of the door handle has an issue, and the position where the cable is stuck is not appropriate, making it more difficult to open and close the door, or even impossible to close. Simply adjusting the cable to be slightly looser will solve the problem. Additionally, the friction between the door handle and the lock post is significant, and prolonged use leads to poor lubrication of the switch, which in severe cases can cause the entire door to fail to close. Applying some lubricant appropriately at the door lock can resolve this issue.
