Tim, Mine did the same thing for a long time after the door got slammed (need to control my temper). The door would open frequently when I hit a pump in the road or something. After many unsuccessful attempts to adjust the latch at the back of the slider door I finally replaced latch assembly- problem solved. Only after comparing the old and new latch did I recognize that slamming the door was the fault. Good luck! Eric Small South Portland, Maine '86 GL Weekender 180K miles |
