Title: Trouble with door
Post by: stu646 on 26 February 2010, 14:42
Since the cold weather, I have not been able to open my drivers side door from the inside. The handle seems not to be catching when I try to open the door.
Works fine from the outside, just not the inside.

Is it just a matter of taking the door panel off and looking at it that way? If so, how easy is it taking the panel off?

hmm.... not 100% sure exactly what u mean..... BUT when its really cold outside (frost) I have had probs with mine.... the locking mechanism freezes up due to lack of grease on it... you should take off the door card and try getting some grease on the mechanisms and see if it helps. I havent had chance to do mine yet but will do soon or by next winter lol
