Hello fellow Citroën Enthusiasts.
The drivers door on our 1974 D Special decided not to latch yesterday so our intended cruise was transferred to another vehicle. I’ve had a look and made a few adjustments but haven’t had any luck. I’m in search of some advice on where the issue might be. I cannot see anything wrong but I did find a small broken spring (bottom right in the picture) in the bottom of the door. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Cheers Paul.

its off the mechanism. You need another spring. I had one go years ago. You'll need to take the door card off to get at it and get the window out. watch this to get familarised with what you need to do to fix it. If you speak Dutch even better. As far as getting a spring hopefully someone reading post might be able to assist.
 
I can't remember... you might at a pinch be able to refit the spring from above with window wound down but I kinda doubt it.
