May have really poo'd the scrooch here. 300D '85. I neglected the warning sounds made by the rear (inner) door latch - it appeared to have lost the two retaining bolts and was making a "ratcheting" sound when closing the door.

Eventually the door would jam closed when the lock was activated but I could
unlock it by simultaneously working the inside door handle and the lock bottom.

Now it's really jammed shut (locked). Can't remove the door panel 'cause I can't open the door.

I'm sure this is a one-in-a-million long shot but anybody ever experienced this?? Remedy??

Thanks to all,

Dave Hutch
