You have to pull them just right - you have to have the Swedish touch and
I thought I had it but some of them are getting challenging even for me!
It used to be kind of like a "Fonzie" thing. The passengers couldn't open them and then I walk over and pull it just the right way and it opens. Those days are coming to a quick ending however.
The only good thing is that it is a great theft deterrent!
I have searched posts and I see a lot of the door not closing problem when
cold and frozen, etc. (I've dealt with that issue a number of times throughout my over 20 years of exclusive Saabing.) But I'm not seeing anything exactly what I am experiencing with all the handles now.
Is the only way to fix these by removing door panels and removing the mechanisms, benching them and lubricating that way? Looking at posts, that looks like lots and lots of time that I don't have currently.
This is probably a dumb question but any way to get lubricant on the mechanisms while in the door at least for some temporary relief until I have more time?
I've kept the car in great shape otherwise but not good when you can't get in the doors...
