For a while now, I've had to pull 3 or 4 times to get the driver's door (2002) open from the inside. I'm in the US, so that's the left door, not that I s'pose it matters. Anyway, today it took about 20 pulls
, so it's time to fix it.
Today I took the panel off and got inside. Seems like the Bowden cable must be stretching, or the end of it is slipping off, making the cable is a bit too long/loose to operate correctly. Not sure if my diagnosis is right or not, just my amateur guess.
The working bits I need to get to are pretty hard to reach from inside. Do I now remove the latch assembly (3 Allen bolts) from the door jamb? I hesitate to do it without asking expert advise, 'cause I may get myself in trouble getting it back together, alignment issues, who knows what???
Many thanks in advance.
driver's door (almost) won't open from inside
