Where'd you get the NOS parts? I'm in need of NOS door latches bad, as the
aftermarket ones I have aren't made correctly and won't work.
I've installed new hinge pins and door rubber. But when I close my door,
the rubber seems to be so stiff it won't latch to the second catch (fully
closed). Even if I slam the door as hard as I can (its all been painted
too), it still won't latch. Any tips?
