The driver's side door on my 1966 Satellite will only latch shut occasionally. It appears that if I rotate the star wheel on the door mechanism to a certain position, the door will latch shut. Otherwise it doesn't latch or it bounces open. The passenger door works fine and I can't see a difference in the visible parts. My questions are: is the door out of alignment, is the door striker worn or is there a problem with the internal mechanism. Anyone else ever have a similar problem?

Thanks!
 
It's worn or needs to be lubricated....
 
I bet the latch spring inside has broke that controls the lever
