Title: Rear door jammed solid!! How do i get in?
Post by: daz5182 on November 26, 2010, 02:27:04 pm

well the other day the rear door was a bit funny, managed to get it open though, it was just like it was sticking a bit.

Now it won't open at all, not from the outside handle or the inside, is this a common issue? How do i get in? What has broken? If i can't do it where do i take it that won't rip me off? VW, bodyshop or mechanic?

I think the door has had a bump at some point and been painted, so they've not put it back together right but i still need to be able to get back in and be able to fix it!

Any help at all appreciated

Cheers

Daz

My passenger door was the same it was deadlocked shut couldnt open from the inside or outside, took it to VW and the door latch was broke apparently, was under warranty and all sorted in a day, take it to VW and see what they think/say.

Hope u get it sorted
