DucatiDom Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 (edited) Seems that the rods/ connections with my driver side passenger door latch have killed themselves. Neither inner nor outer door handles will open the door. Anyone have any ideas how to get it open so I can fix it?

dagwoodzz Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 This is your door in the open position This is the rod that unlocks your door, but I don't think that's the problem This is the is position of the latch in the closed position This is the position of the door in the open position You'll have to remove your seat and the door panel and make a jimmy with possibly a long skinny screwdriver. Get under that latch and pry it up. You'll have to do it blind, because there is no room for the your head and your head in the same hole. No pun intended.

DucatiDom Posted March 20, 2008 Author Share Posted March 20, 2008 So if I remove the seat your saying I can get the panel off without screwin it up. From there its just a matter of gettin the damn latch open. Also would anyone know if the parts stores carry replacement prts or do I need to go to the stealership?

dagwoodzz Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 (edited) for the mostpart without screwing it up. You need to unscrew the armrest, and there's clip that holds the window roller on. the panel has snaps out, but they are plastic snaps. Plan on 1 or 2 breaking because they dry rot. Here's the link the pictures came from... http://npora.ipbhost.com//index.php?showto...343&hl=jail Could'nt find it right this morning but I think all your questions are answered there.

nissandoms47 Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Well i dont know if you'll be able to get the panel off with the door closed.. The dash is in the way and you have to move the panel around quite a bit to take it off. Maybe a slimjim can get the door open so you can work at it?

DucatiDom Posted March 21, 2008 Author Share Posted March 21, 2008 Dash won't be a problem, it's the rear passenger door. I'm gonna try takin the seat out and getting the panel off that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
