On my 89 B2 the driver's side closing system (those small latches that latch around the pin on the rear of the body) will not secure around the pin. It stays open and does not create a seal or turn off the cab light. Anyone else have this problem? How do I fix it. Oh, and the passenger's latch system works perfectly!

Unless the door is really off, you can get replacement nylon bushings that go around the pin. This is also true for the cargo door.
