My wife just got back from the store and after we unloaded the bags and went to shut the back passenger door it refused to close.
The hinges were ok it was the door "open stop" bar that locked open.

It took over an hour of swinging the door back and forth until it suddenly popped and closed. Now I'm afraid to open it again.

If it had locked open at the Mall I would have had to drive the 89 420sel 30 miles with the door open, or cal a wrecker at $150.

I tried to remove the door's inside body but only were able to remove the two door handle screws.

How do I remove the rest of the inside door panel to get to the door's open stop bracket?

Has this happened to anyone else?
