Anyone know how to adjust the outside door handle? It's getting harder and harder to open my driver's side door on my sI disco, need to pull on it a couple of times to get it open. thanks!

Carefully pry off the inside door trim and adjust the set screws in the door handle mechanism. Hard to explain, but you'll see how it works when you pull the trim off and look in there.

if I remember correctly, there are anchor screws on the speaker, door pull, and housing for the inside door handle. Unscrew those first, then carefully pry off the trim.

Wes,

I had the same probelem but I was too lazy to take the door apart. I added a washer behind the silver thing that the latch latches to (I'm quite sure that that is not the nomenclature for the thingy) and it fixed the problem. Took me about 2 min.
