what year??


in general, the rear catch (the part on the bus, not the door) needs to be
adjusted. If not that, then the latch (inside the door) needs to be taken
apart and cleaned, baked to dry (about 100F. too high and you'll break
stuff... guess how i know!), THEN while hot, spray some wd-40 or tri-flo
on the mechanisms.
