How to repair door handles
Door latch bushing repair - Авто та транспорт
Great video - my door won’t ‘lock’ and stay locked. I push the lock down but pushing the door handle button opens the door like it was never locked. Any thought/idea what could be causing this? Also, I’m not real sure how to undo the door release rod and I noticed you didn’t cover this part. Is it difficult to do? Thanks again!
Tim, what year and model car are you having this issue with?
Around time stamp 7:25 I am reinstalling the rods the actuate the door latch, and the normal fastener is some type of clip. Your door release rod should be attached by with either a clip or pressed into a bushing/clip fastener to hold it in place. It’s real difficult to see what’s going on due to the small space these items are located in.
Try using your phone camera to assess the situation.
Not sure why the door would unlock when pressing the outside handle button. Seems like the rods are the wrong position, but I don’t think you can attach the inner lever rod to the latch that the outer handle button uses and vise versa. Only the inner door lever should unlock the door when used.
@@MichaelEd I am having this issue with my '65 Mustang.
Hmmmm,
Check out that time stamp in my video. You’ll see two rods coming from the handle, one is for the button and the other is for the lock knob.
The other one goes from the handle to the latch mechanism. Check your set up to make sure each rod attached to the proper position on the latch and orientation to ensure function.
@@MichaelEd I checked everything and looks like it just needed a little lubrication and some love. Everything is working great now! Thanks so much for your video and responses - you helped me out a ton!!
Bought my 1965 Mustang conv. in 1969. Actually from a corporation who thought the block was cracked. It was a water pump. Paid $125 for the car. It's completely original but sat in a barn for 30 years and top is history. Always had trouble with passenger side door so now won't close. Latch not holding. New latch is $60. But probably needs this bushing also. Thanks for the info.
Wow, $125. That’s a great story rojo!!
Hopefully everything will work out with you door issue and it’ll be a simple fix once you get behind the door panel.
Thanks for watching my video, and sharing you comment.👍
This was a great video, thanks for taking the time to show all the inter working of the door rods. I started working on those door rods about 3 days ago and doing a lot research on the internet saw the drawings on CJP put wasn’t much help because all the parts were missing in my doors. Someone had use wire to the hold the rods in place, no that didn’t work. Anyway this was the only video I have found on these bushings for the 65/66 Mustang. Thanks again I’m your newest subscriber!
Thanks!! I appreciate you and for sharing your great comment/experience!!
I’m glad my video has helped you out.
🤘
Thank you so much for this video. I went to put in new door locks only find that exact peice being held together with zip ties. You saved me from having to take the door panel back off of the good door to figure out what the issue is.
I’m glad you found my video, and was helpful. Those door panel don’t like being removed a lot with getting damaged.👍
Thanks for “subscribing” to the channel, and I hope you’ll check out all my other videos as well.
Zip ties and Duck Tape for the win!!😆
Most helpful video ! I followed your steps 1-by-1 and it all worked - Thanks a million
Good stuff. makes me feel confident enough to tackle it myself
Heck yeah Peter!!
Just be careful removing those door panels.
Your awesome just what i was looking for thank you!
Thanks, this helped a ton. I got it back together and found that I couldn't lock the door. I took it back apart and the problem was that the rod to the outside lock was getting hung up on the new bushing. I had to bend the rod to the lock so it would move freely.
Also, the red washer should be outside where you put the black washer, not in the middle, at least that's how it was originally in my car before I replaced it. The black one should be in the middle.
Those panels are easy abused the more you handle them. Definitely check for operation before putting the door panel back on.
I’m glad it you got it repair/rebuilt and working, and appreciate your comment, and watching my video.
What year is your car?

Sorry I got it I went back to replay the video
Thanks so much again
Hello 👍👍 nice video
What is the name of the piece that you replaced so I can order it
My door won’t open because that piece is broken
Thank you and I will wait for your answer
Javier Guisa 🤝thanks for the complement. It’s called a “door latch rod retainer bushing.”
Question will this also cause a door not to close
Logan Curnow I can’t say that it couldn’t, because that bushing might be damaged and interfering with the latch mechanism.
There could be several things wrong if your door won’t latch when you close it.
I would test the latch using something like a rod or even a screwdriver to manually actuate the latch to assure that it is working properly or not. Then depending on its functionality you can assess wether you need to pull the door panel off, or look at your striker and it positioning and door alignment to make sure the latch jaws are contacting properly when closed.
That is where I would start the process of diagnosing.
Just my thoughts.
I'm about to tackle this as well in my 66 coupe. From your experience, do you think this install is possible without taking the whole mechanism out? I know it will be easier for sure, but just curious if you think its doable. Thanks and nice video!
Zac Wilson yes you can, I tried it multiple times before I filmed this video. I even went out and bought 90’ angle pliers! No luck just a lot of wasted time fishing out the bushing after I dropped it.
It’s not that difficult to take out the mechanism, and you get to properly lube/maintain it.
If you wanna try to fix it while it’s still in the door, my suggestion is to wedge something behind the bushing so that you don’t pop it out when pressing on the washer.
Don’t forget that spring has to sit on top the bushing!!
Good luck, let me how it’s goes.
Michael Ed I got to it today, and after taking out the three screws in the door I was able to maneuver it around so I could insert that black piece, and all the washers correctly. It was giving me some trouble at first but patience pays off! Still glad I watched this to see exactly where I needed to put everything. Thanks again!
Zac Wilson That’s great!
I’m glad my video was helpful.
Thanks for subscribing, more videos on Modified Mustang coming soon. I hope you check all my videos.
Michael Ed if it’s something I need to do on my 66 I’ll be sure to. Just a thought: I’ve always wanted an updated install video to have the links in the description for whatever product you’re using in the video. Luckily I had these already otherwise that would have been my first comment 😂
I sometimes do put links, but I mostly get my stuff from eBay, and the sellers don’t always keep the same thing. I do usually inform viewers where I purchased them, so that they can search for the best price.
i needed to watch this a few time , i tried to take the door glass out and i made a biggers mess ,then broke my door pawl ugh :(
Original fiber board or repo plastic door panel backing material?
If Ford knew then what they know now, those panel clips might have been a better design. You are not alone, my friend. I know I can
Definitely relate to the situation.
My 65 passenger door doesn't always latch, and the door randomly opens while going down the road. I've developed mobility issues since buying the car, and may be forced to sell😒😒😒
Sorry to hear about your troubles.
Could be a few things with your door:
Hinges could be loose and/or wore out and causing the door no to properly shut.
Door latch assembly could be worn or loose,
Striker plate may be misaligned or out of adjustment. Those would be a good place to start checking to help diagnose the issue.
Hopefully this’ll help you figure out the problem,
Thanks for chiming in. 👍
you took the time to remove it and re-install it why didn't you take a little more time and completely clean it.
My OCD wasn’t in full affect that day. lol
This part is mounted inside the door and working parts are not visible. All it needs is to be wiped down and greased for proper function.
Nothing wrong with keeping things clean and fresh, I just didn’t see the need in doing that to a part like this.
Whats the part number my driver side does this
YondermaN there is a link to the part in the description.
As far as the part number it looks like cj pony lists it as INT-646-511
Just click the link in my video description and it should take you to it. 👍😎
@@MichaelEd cool thanks man
curious how long of a fix an hour or so?
YondermaN yeah an hour or so,it doesn’t take long. Just be careful taking your door panel off if you still got it on.
@@MichaelEd yeah it rips behind sometimes where clips go
Ive had this car for 20 years in a garage now that im single again its time to put my time and hard earned cash into her
YondermaN I understand, I’ve had mine for so long (that’s a story by its self) and I’ve just started fixing mine up in the past couple years.
Getting it back up and drivable is such a great feeling.
