87 Porsche 944 Doors take a lot of force to open

[Sean07]

Recently bought a 944 and found out that both doors have all kinds of issues that I sadly can't figure out the biggest issue being that most of the time I can't open them and the times I can open them it takes a lot of force to do so and that the car doors don't lock or unlock. When pulling the door trigger the door latch barely moves and can't find much information on anyone else having these issues.

Please be more specific.

Sounds like your door handles might be a problem... check out clarks garage...

make sure that screw in the 1st picture on clarks is tight. that could solve all of your problems...

Im not exactly sure what the part is called but its the small piece on the door latch it barely moves when pulling the door trigger.

I tightened the screw for the door handle a couple days ago it was loose but now it's tight and the issues are still there.
