Wondered if anyone has seen this happen before and can shed some light on what might be happening.
My driver's side door lock cylinder has been acting up a little for a month or so. When I go to remove the key from the door lock, the inside cylinder wants to pull out slightly as you pull the key. Not a lot, but perhaps like one millimeter (1/16" ?). Nothing terrible happens and the doors still lock and unlock fine, but I can then push on this slightly raised inner cylinder with my finger and it will "pop" back in place. The black bezel of the door lock doesn't move at all, just the inner (silver) cylinder is moving slightly in and out.
It's not the end of the world if it does this as I can be careful with it and keep an eye on it getting worse. My fear though is if it is about to get worse and this is a sign that something needs to be done proactively. Before it breaks completely at some inopportune time that is. I took off the inside door panel earlier today and it doesn't look unusual. Nothing obvious anyway.
Let me know if you have any ideas. I could shoot a quick video and upload it if it isn't clear what I'm describing.
