Door won't open. Please help.

[wildwildwhoosh]

Hi All,

 

My 260z driver door won't open.  The plunger/lock only goes halfway upwards and I can't pull it all the way up no matter how hard I try.  Key doesn't work either.

 

Any ideas how I can open it?  I'd also appreciate information on what's wrong with it.

 

Thanks!

I think the only way to get some access to the inside of the door while it's still closed is if you remove the chrome strip/rubber seal for the window. When you remove that, with a large screwdriver, you may be able to manipulate some of the linkage to work and maybe open the door.

Wind the window down all the way and remove the chrome strip on the outside. Then grab a torch and have a look down where the door lock is... I had my button mechanisim pop out and it jammed the whole lot. You may be able to free it with a long thin rod of the old, trusty coathanger.
