I've got a strange issue with my '69 E door. I've read the posts about doors popping open. Mine will open just fine from the inside, but hangs at the top when using the outside handle. The door stays firmly in place in flight.
I've looked at it closely and it appears the catch mechanism doesn't spring open to release the pin on the door jamb when using the outside handle. Again, it works perfectly from inside. Only way to open from outside is to bang on the top of the door.
I haven't taken the panel off yet and won't till I get a little insight into what I should be looking for.
Once again, folks, thanks in advance for any suggestions.
