Volkswagen Repair: 1995 Jetta: Door wont latch, door latch assembly, answering questions


Question
The driver's side door latch will not engage when closed.

Answer
The driver's door latch assembly/mechanism are broken, and require replacement.  There is no way to repair one.  Unfortunately, they are a fully enclosed unit, and are available as such.
I'm so sorry to keep you waiting Greg, my computer broke, and I just got it back last night, and just finished setting it up about a half hour ago, and have been answering questions ever since.  I wish I could be of more help.
Hey Greg;  Just to follow up.  There isn't much information to on as far as the actual replacement is concerned, so let me know when you have the part, and I'll try to walk you through the replacement.  I'll warn you now, it's no picnic.  But, if you are game so am I.
