So There I Was
So I go to move my vert after its been siting outside for 2 days. I go to unlock the drivers side door, and no turn. So I go to the passenger side, it turns, but the door handle doesnt open the door. The only thing that is gonna work in my favor is that the passenger window is open a little. I might be able to get a clothes hanger in there and pull the inside handle.
So, when Finaly get entry to the car, anyone know how I might go about fixing this? Thanks Shawn |
Crawl through the rear hatch, its fun.:bigthumb:
Otherwise the handles like to break on the inside where they connect to the rod. The door lock, try some lube and free it up. Good Luck, Joe |
its a VERT! climbing in the hatch aint happening...... gosh never heard of both doors failing at once! that sux......
well a common problem on 2nd gen rx-7 is the door handles fail, metal piece breaks inside and lifting the handle wont move the opener anymore.... havnt had a key hole fail before( unless i use the wrong key....), but im sure its very posible lol reminds me the time it was frozen out side and both my door locks were frozen and i was allready running late for skool, |
Damn, I missed that little four letter word.:p:
|
so, this is what happens when you finally get windows that roll up?
|
shawn go to work and get some C4 that should loosen something up. sorry to here, what a pain.
|
eep that sucks, thats what happened to me but luckily it was only my driver's side...
I was changing out the handle since it didn't work, and i installed the linkages wrong, and when i rolled up the window it hit some linkage and jammed the door shut. i had to take off the door panel (while the door was shut) and then jimmy the linkage out from being jammed and then finally open the door... it was a pain, and if ya look at my driver's side panel the vent is broken :( no idea what you will be able to do with both of them being busted... the clothes hangar method seems to be the best idea so far good luck |
Get a "slim jim" from an auto parts store.
|
when you finally get in, i got about 6 sets of extra door handles (and only one or two dont work). of course they wont be in the neat yelloooooow color.
lol |
Well, got it open by getting the drivers side door unlocked with a stick lol. Think someone might have tried to slimJim it open and broke it. It was working perfectly when I parked it. Who knows. Now I gotta take the seat out to get the panel off and try to fix it. Boy, thats gonna be fun.First time I have locked it up in a year and look what happens. Think the car is punishing me for not putting it back in the garage lol.
Wish me luck |
