    Looking for a good used 72 door latch assembly. This is the part that mounts inside the door at the rear that the door lock button and rod connects to and the post on the quarter panel snags when the door is closed. I need the Drivers side latch.

    Thanks,

    Larry... I think I may be able to help you out... Is it the one that uses screws to hold it into the door?? I'll shoot you a pic tomorrow of it.

    Pat,

    Yes, it is held on by three screws. One at the top and two at the bottom. The latch on my 72 went bad last fall and I picked up a 70 from a board member but now I need the 70 latch for my GSX. The drivers side is hanging up and causing me problems. So my plan is to take the 70 latch off the 72 and put it on the GSX and replace the one on the 72. I thought I'd fix this before Salem. It's embarrassing when you can't get the door open on a GSX!

    Thanks for looking. Let me know what you want for it and how much the shipping is. I'll send you a money order.

    As always, thanks for your help,

    Larry

    I know that I have several since I have a few doors that aren't good enough to use on a car so I'll get some pics and if you still need,All you'll need is to pay shipping.

    Pat,

    A picture isn't necessary. Just need to be sure it functions properly. Let me know what the shipping is and I'll take care of it.

    Jeff,

    I'm going to see if Pat has a good one before I try one from another make although I believe they are all the same. Thanks for the offer. I'll keep that option open.

    Aren't Buick people great!

    Thanks,

    Larry
