Drivers door wont open.

[Eeyore]

Hi All,

Random problem here which is only getting worse. Occasionally when i try to open the drivers door pulling the handle does nothing. If i repeatedly pull it it may eventually open. This is true for both the inside and outside, but more so the outside!

One time I was parked next to a car of 5 girls and it wouldnt open so I had to get in the back doors and climb over the buckets before getting in the harnesses. They thought it was funny but obviously this is having a big impact on my pulling ability so i would rather get this resolved sooner rather than later.

Ive had a quick google and from what ive seen there is a metal rod that does the opening and that could be loose? Wondered if anyone had any advice!

Cheers
Sam

Take door card off and give that rod a wiggle? See how floppy it is..

If its floppy theres a blue pill that helps

[Eeyore]

and whats the solution if its floppy?

Both handles have a different rod iirc, so I don't see it being that if both handles are the same. Is it only after unlocking, like getting stuck locked?

[Eeyore]

Nope nothing to do with locking. Just if the door is closed!

Hmm, ok. Could try lubing the latch mechanism I guess.
