Thank you Dean... hurray... success ! ! but... here's the thing... If I pull the door to close and let go of the handle the door will close but the rear won't align with the body panel. If I keep my hand on the handle and close the door and push in a little bit, the rear will align with the body panel. I'd think the front latch needs a bit of help to close correctly.
