    You got it!
    When my wife came home yesterday we already had the car loaded on the trailer and were just talking. She takes one look at it and said "Please tell me that one is leaving and not coming!" LOL
    She doesn't even know what I have. :dancing:

    Dang Kenny! Five cans of pb blaster should make your tires slip off the rims so watch where you stand. LOL
    Seriously, sounds like one of the rods have come off the latch. There is also a small spring that sometimes breaks that make the door stay latched. If everything looks good let me know...you might need a latch. I got plenty of them.

    I went and sprayed it down and really didnt know if this was the right thing to do to keep the rust from getting anyworse for right now.It all looks good so far and I think when we put it on the trailer and when I latched it down,I tried to close the door and it wouldnt latch so I pushed the ears in on the latch on the door and closed it,now I cant open it from either way.I just got to wait for another full moon-LOl-thanks for your help.
