Yeah, I'm scratching my head over that one, too. Then again, that thing about "he who has the most toys upon death wins" makes no mention that the toys need to be operable.

The back doors will not open, it seems definitely vacuum related because the door locks are spongy and resistant to being toggled. the front doors lock is not locking. where do i begin to trouble shoot these back doors? thanks
The rear door lock pods on my '77 300D were similar when I picked up the car. Cleaning the gunk and corrosion off of the mechanisms in the door made a world of difference. You may as well start by popping the rear door panels off for an inspection.
