It's about as easy as pressing the caps lock key

and I assume you are referring to the the push switch in the door jam.

I believe he's referring to the hinge pivot "pins" themselves being excessively worn to the point where they let the door sag and not align properly with the latch mechanism. Thus not allowing the door to fully close properly. Is this correct? And, if so, you're inquiring as to the pin's replacement procedure and the difficulty involved? Is this also correct?

I saw the light issue so I thought he was referring to the "pin" switch. I wonder if he is having the same issue most other XJ owners have, and that is the actually hinge pulling off the body issue? mine drags cause of this, but the pics are fine, and I have had the door hinge welded but it broke again the moment I went wheeling.... So check the top door hinge and make sure that is not loose and looks to be pulling away...
