Sorry Denny, but it fixed my door and I had the exact same problem. Don't ask my why or how but you can't argue with success.

There is only supposed to be 3/16" gap between the two parts and mine was too wide. According to the Service Manual that's what the gap should be and there were special shims to correct this so it must have been a critical adjustment. I have never seen these shims for sale anywhere so I made my own and it worked... strange as it may seem.
