Rear Door Stuck closed
 

Hello Friends,

Yesterday I loaded my dog up in the back of the car and realized that I did not shut it all the way. I opened it back up slightly and closed it again. When I got home, I found that it was stuck closed and no amount of locking, unlocking or prying could get it open
Maybe something is stuck in the latch.

Has this happened to anyone?? How do you get to the inner workings of the door??

pop off the emblem on the cover and spry some lube in it. Also spray lube up from underneath and "flick" the handle to make sute it is going back in all of the way.

i had the same problem 7 months ago and i used lithium grease. Works well in the cold to. once its open get the handle and the latches and the hinges too

Just a warning, Lithium grease will attract dirt and cake up. My grandfather lives on a gravel road and the dealer sprayed that gunk all down the rails of his minivan. They couldn't get the doors open 2 weeks later.

I use RP's spray MaxFilm. Not sure where to get it, though...

I read somewhere that it may be the child lock on the disco1 & I believe there's mention in the owner's manual.
It was common & an easy fix maybe thru rear badge on doorlatch.
