52 Clipper: Need help getting a door open

Posted by longjohn On 2019/4/28 21:39:16

On a club tour last weekend, one of our members couldn't get the drivers door to open on his 52 Clipper. The inside handle operates and will push up the door lock button but the door latch will not release. The outside button can be depressed but will not release the door latch.

Anyone have any idea how to get the door open?

I suggested that he remove the window trim, which I think can be done with the door in the closed position, and see if he can access the latch mechanism but I don't know if this will work.
