as the title says my driver side door lock seems to be binding up or something, when you try to lock it manually on the inside and it moves a little but not enough to lock it....same thing with the key it goes in fine and turns a little but still not enough to actually lock it. would doing the lock rebuild help any? or is it something else? the door handle is broken and it appears someone mightve tried to break into my car at one time in its life. i took the door panel off and i can move the bar manually with my hand enough to get it to lock. I would really like to be able to lock it with simply the lock inside or with my key. any ideas? thanks a lot for the help.
