Hi there. I have a '95 S350, yesterday I tried to open the rear right door and it wouldn't open. Then I tried all the other doors, and they oppened. Can you please halp me with this as soon as possible. And another problem I had a leak of the A/C fluid five months ago which I replaced, but when in turn on the A/C I hear this noise which sounds like when the the vacuum assist pulls the doors, the sound that comes after the doors are pulled.

The first problem is very important to me right now.

Is the lock coming up? And, have you tried it from the inside?

Yes the lock is coming up but the door wont open. I also tried it form inside and its the same.

I forgot to say that it was really cold the last two weeks and my car is parked in the yard.

Start it up, run the heater. This will defrost any frozen weatherstripping that may be sticking to the door frame and keeping the door from opening. Use some type of rubber protectant to keep it from happening again.

I sarted the car , turned the heater on high and after like 15 minutes the door still wouldnt open. Seems to me that there's some kind of link inside the door that when I tried to open the door went bad. Anny sugestions?

Hi rekatt,
I had an SL shipped once in December with unlocked doors. After sitting for 3 weeks, I also had a very hard time opening the driver door.
Eventually I put enough force on it from the inside and it just opened. I would try the heating and may be have that door exposed to sunlight or warmer garage somewhere. Then try from inside.
good luck
