The plastic on the latch on the door or on the actual car? If youve got a pic that would be great, I've got the same problem, except it only does it when its cold! :P

try greasing the bollox outta the latch and lock see if that helps it catch

It's the locking mechanism, mine went on my passenger door, it's a fucking fiddly job that I left my mechanic to do, he fitted a new one but also my drivers one is on it's way out aswell.

It's best to replace it because my door just opened countless times driving round bends etc.
