This sounds like my problem although it seems odd it would be able to go past the normal position with the door shut since it would be latching over the U-catch-thing on the frame. Maybe it sprung shut while the door was open (I did have it open for a long time while working in the back) and now itÆs jammed with the latch in the wrong position. That would suck since even with screwdrivers and such I wouldnÆt be able to free the latch at this point. I'm going to work on it some more in the next few days... I'll keep this thread up to date with what I discover. I've also though about taking it to the dealer to see if some old hack may have seen the problem before.
