Hello Phil,

I fix the issue by turning the opening actuator assembly were the door handle (square shaft thingemaging) mounts to upside down (as I had read somewhere else in this forum) and it works fine now.

Just the drivers door only locks with the right closing force. To much and it holds only in the first latching sequence and the same if you don't 'bang' it enough. It is the 1.25 G-force latching force that is needed grin

My thought is that the new rubber door seals cushion the closing somehow. The properly closed door also sticks-out a 1/4"
