But nothing seems to work, I have been advised that I need to take off the inside trim whilst the door is still deadlocked. I have tried this, taking of all bolts suggested on this site, but the door trim seems solid and I fear the door aperature is holding it in place? Catach 22?
Has anyone got advice other than taking the car to the main dealer, I would appreciate it. Many Thanks in advance.  |
Couple things...1 I believe there is a DIY on this site on how do it. 2. You definitely need a new door handle carrier. If you don't want to deal with the hassle of taking apart the door yourself, because it is a tedious process, take it to the dealer and have them replace it... Thats what i did, it cost me $500 US.
There is no lubricant or any type of substance or "quick fix" that will allow you to open your door better without getting this fixed.. Honestly..you will need to get this fixed very soon..Or you won't be able to open it from the inside either then you have a major problem on your hands...
