Minivan Side Door Not Closing (Hyundai Entourage Kia Sedona)

Door not closing all the way. Specifically on a Hyundai Entourage / Kia Sedona but suspect this technique would work on minivan sliding door, or any vehicle door for that matter.
Confirmed that this fix also works on a Toyota Sienna (2007).

[@WEBGRW]

My 2006 Kia Sedona had the same problem, after this video, it has taken me all of 10 seconds to fix the latch. Thank you.

[@fixingrandomcrap]

Awesome, so glad it helped. Tks for the note!

[@rrondasaunders9417]

Trying it now

[@AquinasRevival73]

Thanks, man! Holding the door handle open while jimmying the closed latch was the trick I couldn't figure out. Worked like a charm! Much better than the long video with the Eastern European fella who did everything but take the engine out to fix the same problem.

[@fixingrandomcrap]

lol tks for the note!

[@ronmcc100]

Thank you so much for posting this! This problem hit me at a bad time today,. Are problems ever at a good time??? The part I didn't know about was pulling on the handle... On some other cars I've had, you could just tap the latch bar with a screwdriver and that was enough... Hyundai doesn't work that way... Thanks again!

[@fixingrandomcrap]

So glad it helped! Thanks so much for the note!

Gonna try this on my 2016 Kia Sedona. Brb to update.

[@fixingrandomcrap]

Cool ... let us know!!

[@markdavies5066]

Mines doing opposite, doesn’t want to open on remote , changed motors over but no joy yet

[@allisonbossi_pilon1008]

i have sort of different issue that door same door drivers side won't open it'll open maybe inch and stop. i've this video hoping see if i can lift that bar but door doesn't open up enough you barely get anyting in there ?

[@fixingrandomcrap]

Not sure I understand ...

[@MP-zu5jp]

Hi Which way shoukd u push the lock, also I pushed it upwards it closed but problem came back, any ideas

[@fixingrandomcrap]

So you want to push the locking tab up so the mouth is open and the latch can go into it. If that makes sense? As for it coming back, I'd suggest spraying some grease into the mechanism there and move it around to really get it greased up. Might help it from sticking. Or it might just need some service ... this video is more to help resolve the issue when the door just won't close, so it's hard to drive anywhere. No promises on how long the fix lasts. :) Good luck and let us know how it goes!!

[@AM-dm1pl]

Exact same problem my van had this morning. Totally random.

[@fixingrandomcrap]

I remember it being totally random when it happened to me too. Has happened 1-2 more times since then (even on different vehicles) and this trick saved the day. Thanks for the note!

[@akeilabriana8659]

I can push mine up but everytime I pull the handle to open it flips back down and I have to manually push it back up everytime to close ugh.

[@Mrscajun1980]

I tried pulling on the handle, and I still can’t get it to move. How hard did you have to push on it to make it move?

[@fixingrandomcrap]

Hi Megan, you mean to get it to start closing? I didn't have to pull on it very hard. That was really a separate issue than the one with the latching documented in this video. If it's not starting to close on it's own, I'd check to make sure the power button is on for the sliding door, and if so, it could be a battery issue or maybe something with the sliding door motor. That said I'm certainly not an expert. Good luck and let us know how it turns out!!

[@janetlau539]

@@fixingrandomcrap I think she means the latch. My latch doesn't seem to budge either 😔

[@fixingrandomcrap]

@@janetlau539 Thanks for the note ... do you mean the latch/piece that has the notch in it inside the door? I would suggest hitting it with some lubricant. Like lots of it. Get a screwdriver in there and try to get it moving a bit. Then try pulling on the door handle to release it and use the screwdriver to hopefully move it. Sounds like maybe it is seized?

[@janetlau539]

Sorry, no idea on the part name. Since I was able to get this one working I didn't end up researching it any further. If you do find the part # though I'd love to know so I can update the description here to save the next person from having to look it up! Good luck.

I just spent 800 bucks on the front end of my 2007 entourage with 210K miles on it. I think I've lost my mind

[@fixingrandomcrap]

Lol. You know, I might have thought you had lost your mind but I've been looking around at used cars a bit lately and I find the price of everything is ridiculous and often for absolute garbage. If your van is working well and you still like it, paying 800 to get some more years out of it is genius in my opinion!!

[@embededfabrication4482]

@fixingrandomcrap I tuned it up and it goes like stink, lots of power in this engine and entourage has a sporty look too. I usually drive them til I have to hitch hike away from it on the highway

My latch is loose and won’t close at all. Wondering how to fix this

[@fixingrandomcrap]

Latch on door or car?

[@LL-nx3hc]

@@fixingrandomcrap thanks for getting back to me. It’s the latch on the door. The same one you got open with the screw driver. The problem is I push it down and it doesn’t latch at all. When I am driving the door just flings open

[@fixingrandomcrap]

Oof sounds intense. If opening while driving i suggest getting it into a shop for inspection!! Let us know how it goes!!

[@wyshb1458]

try WD-40

[@ahmadzaki3328]

Hi and thank you, but that does not solve the problem completely, the latch needs changing or deeply fixing

[@ironheadmafia]

But what's a permanent fix for this

[@fixingrandomcrap]

Seems to be resolved for me but I'm told to keep it from happening again, spraying some wd40 into the area will help keep it lubricated so it doesn't get stuck.

[@ironheadmafia]

@@fixingrandomcrap think mines a motor problem

[@fixingrandomcrap]

@@ironheadmafia What's happening with yours?

[@ironheadmafia]

@@fixingrandomcrap some times it closes sometimes it makes a couple of clicking noises then the back end pops out a bit so if you push on it it closes.
