Anyone have this problem?

2007 CX-7 Sport

Passenger door wouldn't close properly this morning. Felt like something was hitting.
After more inspection I noticed that the screws holding the latch into the door were loose. One had backed out so far as to hit the jam and keep the door from closing. Very strange. I checked the passenger rear door and those were loose too. The drivers side doors were tight.

Anyone else notice this occurrence? Never had work done on this car were they would need to mess with the latches.

Might want to check yours before they fall out.

Did you buy the car new? If not, possibly there was body work performed on the door and it was not reassembled correctly.

Yes bought it new. Never had anything serviced relating to doors.

Place a little loctite on the screw threads and reinstall the screws. That should prevent them from backing out again.
