I suppose this could also be fixed by a couple of pieces of thin
weatherstripping placed on either side of the latch. The self-
adhesive foam stuff for house doors should work fine.

Another good idea, I just might end up doing both, although I'm still
kind of wanting to fix the "low" end of the door. I thought of trying
to just bend it up but I'd probably just end up snapping the whole door
off! I thought of trying to actually bend that little wire loop that
catches the latch but I'd probably end snapping that off too. To replace
it you'd probably end up having to rip out the whole dash, just like
with an evaproator replacement. I have some of that weatherstripping
that is that type that's actually hollow and self sticking. Makes a
great, air-tight seal around doors...just what I need if I happen to
have a corned beef on rye in there with a nice stinky pickle.
Two pretty darned good ideas, actually. Thanks, you two. I'll keep you
posted.

Oh...HEY!
That's interesting.
I'll give that a try until I can get around to dismantling the interior
of the car.
By the by...what did they end up charging you for the tape, about $60.00
and inch? Of course It's gotta be Volvo tape. I wonder what the part
number is? No, but seriously, I'm going to try it in about fifteen
minutes.
Thankyou.
