Simple 1967 Dart Door Lock Mod

I think this will work for 1968 and 1969 cars as well.

I got tired of having to use the key to lock the doors and not being able to push the lock button down and closing the door to lock it.

So, I came up with this simple solution, which is reversible if you are careful.

It is easy and simple to do, once the door latch/lock assembly is removed from the door.

First, remove the small plastic rod retainer.
Then take a torch and heat the tab that is circled in the photo and bend in back straight or flat.
Once the tab has cooled, put the plastic rod retainer back in place and reinstall the door latch/lock assembly into the door.

Works Great.

You can now push the lock button down and close and lock the door without useing the key.

Be carefull DO NOT LOCK YOUR KEYS IN THE CAR !!!!!
