Bad to worse....drivers door shut solid

[mk2bal]

We all know how to remove doorcards mate, his door is stuck shut so getting to the 4 screws is the problem!! Though matey above says its possible at a ripe old angle with a screwdriver.

in that case it may be worth trying to get a bit of wire down the outside,if it is just the rods that are the problem you may be able to get straight to the latch to pop it open.

okay........cheers guys, have now managed to get the door open from the inside. turns out the outside door handle trigger, then moves another lever which is part of the locking mechanism, which had stuck in the down position, (thus the feeling like nothing connected behind the trigger from outside). The lever part of the mechanism still sticks down so think i need to either take the whole mechanism off and clean/lubricate and hope that sorts it out or replace it with a new one.....

anyone cleaned one up and found the same prob or just go for the replacement option ?

have the same problem did you take the door card off to get to the rods or did u try from outside down the window rubbers?
