47 door lock issue

[TooBadBrad]

Hi There!

I just picked up a 47 Ply 4dr to haul the grandkids around and keep my 38 coupe company. The lock cylinder on the drivers side moves in & out about 1/4 ". It still operates, and the pass. side is tight. I have the panel off but can't see what might be loose or missing. Any ideas?

thanks!

There is a setscrew accessible by pushing the weatherstrip aside.  See the little bump at the weatherstrkp in the photo below. 

(The screw is a real bear to remove if rusted.  Maybe your screw is loose or missing.)

Ah, thank you! I should have asked before I took the panel off!
