Door problems
Asked by ravens55 Jun 18, 2013 at 10:02 PM about the 1997 Volkswagen Jetta GL
Question type: Car Customization
My door on my 97 jetta won't open I mean it locks and does everything a normal door
would do but it just doesn't let me open and close it I took off the door panel and tried to
open it from the inside of the car but it still doesn't open. What's going on? How can I get
my door to open and close?

someone needs to inspect the attachment points to the latch and lever...something got bent/something isn't right with the geometry there...an inspection of the mounting points of the mechanisms is in order~
What do you think I could to open it up because I took the panel off and all I can see is a little white box ran by a vacuum line , air and power it's locked so how can I open it

USE Tri-flo w/teflon...this is the stuff bicyclists use on their chains~
