My front near side door wouldn’t close earlier. The catch seemed to have closed before the door was shut, eventually freed it off and soft close no longer seems to work on that door. The door will close normally, but if I part close it I can hear the mechanism clicking round as though a gear has sheered.

Had a look online and they seem to do a couple of types, one with double locking and one without. Do they not ALL have double locking? Mines a 2018 AB so I think it has.

I also found something that looks like a repair part, has anyone any experience of this?

Thanks for the tip. The WM is awkward to navigate if you aren’t a tech, but will have a look in a bit.

In the meantime and as I didn’t get much response (meaning they either don’t fail much or everyone just replaced the latch). I found this video with a bodge (but working) repair. Ignore the fact it’s on an RRS, same part.



The part he repairs is the bit I’ve ordered above which seems to have now been engineered in metal. I’ll let you know how it goes!
