Rear door stuck closed Posted by MC [Email] (#1472) [Profile/Gallery] (more from MC) on Sun, 30 Jul 2017 13:22:02 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
2003 Aero wagon.
Unpleasant surprise today: the right rear door will NOT open. came without warning, as far as I know.
Both inside and outside release-handles *feel* like they are engaging the latch mechanism....but the latch will not release! Clearly I can not get the door panel OFF for further investigation until it is opened.
Tried pressing on the outside of the door near the latch whilst working the handle/s...no luck.
Gave it a few "love taps" in the area of the latch...nope.
Pushing on the inside of the door, but short of kicking it out,.....no luck.
It is NOT frozen shut. damn near 90F outside today.
In all my years working on SAABs I cant say I've had this happen on a 9-5 before.
BMWs, yes. Mercedes-Benz', yes. Many other types of cars, sure.
Thoughts? Ideas? Suggestions?
Loading up gear for a gig tomorrow. So, may just have to work-around-it until next weekend when I can have a hard tackle at it....
...it's always *something*. damn.
