Title: Passenger door wont open
Post by: Neil gti on 26 December 2010, 10:28

Think something has broken off the handle on the inside of the door, went to open it the other day and heard a cracking noise ? prob due to something frozen up and now the window catches on the inside when moved up or down.  :angry:
Door can be openened by the handle on the inside as normal, Any other thoughts  :sad:

Looking at a diagram of the doors it looks like theres a little metal rod with a plastic end goes to the lock from the door handle. Im guessing the plastic has snapped or come out of the handle and its whats catching the window.

i had a similar problem as yourself on mine, except it wouldn't open on either the internal or external handle, and was the driver's door! had to crawl over every morning and avoid the gear stick going up my bottom.
dealer sorted mine out by replacing some bits in the door of some sort.
definitely take it to the dealer to get it fixed.
