Jayrider,
Those who bought Nash, Borgward, Studebaker and even Lada automobiles knew they were buying something special. They were vaccinated before their purchase.
 
We, Liberty owners, bought something standard and we discover along the way we could be forced to look for automobile demolition yards to keep our truck going at a normal cost
 
Were you pulling the door by the annular door handle instead of using the recess in the elbow support? I often apply grease and oil to my door hinges and door stopper lever (the one between the hinges) but my driver door keeps squeaking and cracking. We also need a roll of "Tuck Tape" in case the rear windows break loose!
 
These quality issues happened when Daimler Chrysler Mercedes Benz were grouped. I wonder how MB build their vehicles nowadays? Do they use as much compound materials? It won't be my choice next time.

It wasn't the handle you pull the door closed with but the recessed aluminum release lever that unlatches the door from the inside. The handle is hinged and operates the rod that goes through the door into plastic guides. The rod is metal and strong-- the plastic guides are weak.

I was talking about the unlatching levers. Some of my passengers "hang" themselves on those things to close the doors
On my truck these levers are shaped like rings of 3" diameter. I need to find three "pull here" stickers
