Soft close door issue fixed

Hope this can help someone with this issue, my soft close stopped operating but would still make sound as if it is trying to function.

The cover on latch for lever that cable is the hard part of this job. A heat gun/blow dryer on the cover is a good idea to make it more flexible if temps are cool/cold when you do this job. One of mine suffered a broken tab on the lower end. I used a zip tie to assure it didn't slip down and off. The cover is part of latch and not sold separately.

💯 good tip on the plastic cover if it ever gets broken. I didn’t know you can’t buy one separately
