[FC] Differant type of Door Problem

Paul-

Look down in the top where the latch mechanism is in the door.  Amidst the
mechanism, a screw head will be staring you in the face.  This, I believe,
is the tension screw for the mechanism that connects the door handle to the
latch mechanism.  Tighten the screw a few turns until the vibration upon
closing goes away.  I had this problem a few years ago in my Greenbrier as
well.  The screw can be seen in the 1962 assembly manual listed on page
1-138 and is called the "rod lower" on 1-137 (which shows the lower
assembly).

Hope this helps...Ben in PA
