How to open a stuck W-body door with broken linkages

[digitaloutsider]

sawzalls? we don't need no stinkin' sawzalls

 

You will need:

Drill (preferably pretty powerful)

Chisel

Hammer

 

Directions:

Drill 4 holes in the side of the door. Chisel them out in the form of a square. Peel sheet metal away.. it's like a hot knife through butter when you get this far.

 

 

Reach in the hole with a screwdriver and find a lever attached to a spring. Pull the spring forward. Enjoy the results after nearly a year of failed attempts to get this piece of shit door open.

A pick axe would probalby work fine as well..

Wouldn't it have been easier & more fun to throw a brick through the window?

thats one way to get it open

with the door panel off, still couldnt get it open??

[5speedz34]

Yeah, I can't believe that with the doorpanel that you couldn't get it opened. Was this on the outside and inside.

[digitaloutsider]

Both linkages completely failed, inside and outside. Ask Chris. There's nothing we could do short of this.

[White93z34]

yes, i was sure i could get the fucker open, from the inside, but desperate measures were needed.

but desperate measures were needed.

so i have a 92 z34 and the door wont open from inside or out. no its not locked. im sure i busted it because i was replacing the door handle and lock. when i shut the door it wouldnt open. luckily i had the door panel off when i shut the door. can some one tell me what to do without mangling the outside of the door?

I would. It will probably help you solve your problem faster. This thread doesn't really have any intention to open a stuck door properly without destroying your w-body.

 

Listened to SteppenWolf- Magic carpet ride while typing this.
