Driver Door Not Opening?

karbonkid · 04-01-2010, 03:53 PM

Where I haven't used the car for 4weeks+ the alarm was going off from a dead battery. Went to open door, nothing.
So opened manually with the key. In.

But now handle inside and outside not working. Car is running as normal now after charging and have to use passenger door.

I would take the CF pannel off to get to it but cant even take it off.

Anyone?

Which ones you both got? Is it the 3600?

I find mine sticking now actually, but I believe it's the window not dropping properly when you pull on the handle. Might have to take it in for them to check out

Handle felt sticky on mine the other day too. Got some ptfe lube in and around there and seems to be a little better.

There's an adjustment screw on the inside of the door to fix that.
