A slightly different door stuck thread

[UPGrayd]

So heres one ive not encountered before. I just went to close the rear right door on my E53, and it wouldnt latch and would just pop back ajar as if something was blocking it....I checked all around the door to make sure nothing was obstructing it and tried again...same result.

With my arms full of stuff, and a hyperactive, overtired 3 year old running laps around my legs I decided to just try closing it with a little bit more force instead of fiddling around with it...this time it latched closed, but will no no longer open using either the exterior or interior release handles.

If you lock the door using the door lock button ontop of the door, attempting to open it from the inside will release the lock, but it wont unlatch the door.


Has anyone encountered this before? I'm well accustomed to the outer handle carrier failure, but this ones different.
