Hey, just went out to my car tonight and both of my passenger side doors are not closing...or latching I guess. It's damn cold, so I figure something is just frozen...but could anyone else have any ideas for me? I hope I didn't break a spring or something, but I doubt I have since its in both those doors. :help :help

are they moving easily or are they tough to move? Wait till it warms up a little (if it does over there) and then try the doors. Sometimes things just don't work in cold weather!

They open and close fine, but they don't latch...it's like the door is closed and will stay closed, but is "free" to move a little. It doesn't quite seal, so it's not quite closed....

Does your car have the windows that crack a little when you open them? Mine do and whenever there is ice on my windows I can't close my doors until I warm up the inside of the car so the windows are allowed to move freely. Try to get your windows to roll down and then close the door and roll up your windows.
If you doors don't do the crack thing, you may want to look at your latch. My IROC's latch would get stuck in the cold weather. No big deal; just push the latch back with your finger.

Nah, it's a 4 door so it doesn't have the windows against the seal. I've looked at the latch, and it seems like that is the problem...but I've pushed them back and it still isn't working out like it should be. I figure I'll wait till it heats up, and just not drive it too much until then.
