Hi guys,

I replaced a driver's door-lock broken clip on my 1972 W108 and my car's vacuum locks are now working! But, I'm not sure if they're operating correctly. So, I have a few questions:

OPENING LOCKED CAR
When I turn the key on the driver's door and unlock the car, should all locks unlock? Mine don't.

STARTING CAR
As a follow-up to the question above. When I unlock the driver's door, the other three locks don't unlock. But, the second I start the car, they do pop-up and unlock. Is this normal?

ENGINE RUNNING
Just because I know y'all are gonna ask :-) LOL! When the engine is running and I'm in the car, all locks lock and unlock when I operate the driver's door lock.

Also, a couple of related questions...

STICKY LOCK
The rear passenger lock is sticky. It goes up no problem, but will not go down fully. If I push it down manually it does go down with little effort. I'm not sure it's a vacuum problem. I'm thinking its a lubrication issue. Any thoughts?

DRIVER'S DOOR
I have to push in with the key to lock/unlock the driver's door. Any idea on how to fix this?

Thanks!

Jose
