What to Do When the Car Door Automatically Springs Back and Won't Stay Open?

[MacBeckett]

If the door latch doesn't spring back, it may be due to misalignment of the latch position, requiring adjustment of the positional relationship between the latch and the catch. Rust on the lock hook can also prevent the door latch from springing back. You can purchase a bottle of rust remover or grease to eliminate the rust. If the internal lock hook is misaligned, the entire door may need adjustment. It is recommended to have it inspected and repaired at a repair shop or 4S dealership.
