The doors and latch-strikers are aligned correctly, but when I slam the door I have to do it hard, and it makes a tremendous BANG! Hurts my ears!
Would replacing the door latch mechanism change this? A friend of mine has a '55 Ford, and it latches with barely a 'click.'
Thanks!

I'll give that a go - if I can without totally messing up the door alignment!
