[d_33vl_1]

as it says i think the locking mechanism and opening mechanism is broken behind my door

now i cant open to even pull the trim off

has any one got any idea how to get to this or what my option are before i get the crow bar and air hacksaw out????

[dezz]

get in from the passenger side..?

Not too sure what your options are, but remember: A DOOR TRIM IS MUCH CHEAP THAN A DOOR AND PAINT, so get in from your passenger door hack the trim to expose the internal door locking mechanism.

But this should really be your last option,

sorry shoulda clarified.. its the passenger door... its not probs atm cause the car off the road.. but i was gonna get it roady n rego this week... not till i fix this prob but...

i think the hack is my only option

Taking off the door trim is easy just be gental you dont need to force it I think there are three screws on underneath, one in the bottom of the hand thing you use to close the door and one BEHIND the light switchn just get a flat head and gentally wiggle it out but be careful cause if you dont get a good enough grip the plastic might chip off

Sorry I wasn't an idiot i didn't read the title completly well uh what happens if you try to unlock the door?

Where are you located?

A mate of mine is very good with this kind of thing, repairs (the alarm install dude everyone on SAU uses hehe)...

He might be able to help for a affordable fee. So if you feel like a trip to Deer Park lemme know.

when i try to unlock the door by the key it just turns freely, and by the lock inside feels really tight. got the handle off just before (the inside one) and the two rods ( handle and lock) feel like the not attached any more.

ahh well time to get the hacksaw out haha. cheers for the help any way guys. new trim wont be hard to come by.

Get in take everything off and disable everything!! then if something brakes maybe just maybe the door will open or

Smash the window and get some nets can be like a Nascar racer

edited ....had a double read and now i know what your on about...lol

does your drivers side switch that controls the passengers lock work? can you hear it clicking attempting to unlock? considered taking your drivers trim off to see where the rods are then have a crack at it with a car jacking tool ha or coat hanger on the passengers.

i had the same exact problem in my 4 door 33 GTS, well it sounds like it.

cept mine was driver side haha

anyways what i had to do is :

drill a hole in the door pillar frame (might be a bit diff from the coupes, and stick a bit of metal in there like wire and flick the broken white plastic flicky opening door magiggy.

if you look at the door that works open it up and look in the "<" slot and open and close the handle you should see the flicky thing im talking about...

hope this helps but yeh thats how i had to fix mine, keep in mind it took 4 hours of patient flicking with a piece of wire. if you don't have the patients rip open the door trip and buy new 1 lol

hope this helps
