I'm hoping for some guidance re the pass front door being jammed.
I posted a reply in the what happened too thread re the front door window issue, which transpired into rear pass door a bit stuffed(fixed) and then rear drivers side door window coming loose.
Years of neglect is taking it's toll on poor brothers D2.
But the major issue is the front pass door, being jammed hard.
I've checked the locking mechanism and it unlocks. Neither inside handle nor outside handle will open door. Window now goes up and down(yay) so I can just get into the insides of the door.
Handles move their respective parts on the lock mechanism, lock itself unlocks, confirmed with central locking AND inside handle.
If door is locked, inside handle unlocks it first and then pull again to open. No budge.
I've banged and (got son) to kick from inside with me holding handles open, thinking it's just wedged or something and needs a bigger hammer type operation. Nothing.
Off my spares, I've checked the operation of the latch mechanism, and can work out how to force unlock it if there was a bound up lever or something, but I'm sure the door is 'unlocked'... just jammed internally.
It feels like it's locked when the handles are pulled .. that is, no slight resistance just prior to unlatching itself. Just limp handles like they're still locked.
No room to squeeze anything between internal parts of the lock mechanism and the window frame too.
Short of cutting door off!
.... any suggestions for trying to get it opened?
TIA
