How can I move my car's door latch so the door will close?

Answer by  Tony103 (93)

if the latch is just stuck in the closed position, you can use your finger to the move the latch while pulling of the door handle. you may have to get a tool (screwdriver, pliers handle, stick) to help get the latch moved. it may help to spray it with some lube first.

By using a 3/8" ratchet and the proper size torx bit, you can loosen the bolts and adjust the latch on the body.

Most vehicle do have adjustable door catches. However I can't specifically tell you how to do it on your car without knowing what kinds of car it is. Typically you just loosen some bolts and slide the the catch up or down.
