Thread: D2 back door stuck

Just keep at it...Blow air into it, give the LR logo on the door a whack and just work it. No universal cure for fixing it though.

I would suggest using graphite powder next time. WD40 can gum up and attract dust, whereas the graphite powder stays dry.

Should I chain the spare wheel carrier to a tree and belt off at top speed? The door hinges look very hard to drill out. Much as I love my Rovers, this is really trying my patience.

Mine did this too. Had to pull cage out, and camping crate/fridge/ect through left door.
Just keep working the lock untill unlock snib button is right up. Pulled my lock out and washed in CRC, waited till dry and graphited it. Fitted hex head bolts on refit. 2 years no problems.
cheers

Mine jammed the rubber mat at the bottom of the door and I had to push hard against the outside of the back door while my son opened the handle from the inside through the belt hole in the cargo barrier!
