Richard - Try the info from the shop manual I've attached below. Removing the lock and door handle might get you going in the right direction for the rest of the door latches. Hope it helps! wink

Hello Gdads51,
Thanks a bunch. I have that manual, however I did not state it correctly. What I need is info on the left rear door mechanism and how it can be disassembled. There is a latch lever in the middle of the door with two rods, one goes up and one down. They latch into th door frame and secure it closed, so the passenger side door can cloase on it. Also need lower locking rod.

Rpat, we have a sub-forum dedicated to DOORS. That may end up being a better place for us to put this. Check it out and see what you think.

And ... Gdads51 is on vacation for a week. He'll probably be checking in here (as he can) at the end of the day or early morning. Hopefully, someone else can help you with your questions.
