Mk 7 side door locked open

Postby linda45 » Sun Jun 10, 2018 6:01 pm

hi folks

I've had the usual "I can't unlock the sliding door" problem that has been posted on here before. However, I though that if I fiddled with the latch, added some lube and flipped it about a bit, this may help. However I have managed to close the lock piece with the door open and now I can't shut the side door as the lock is locked shut. Any suggestions please?

thanks

Linda

Unlock it by pulling outward on the lug while opening by the handle. You might need a friend to help and a piece of coat hanger wire

thanks.
I did it through a combination of pulling on the lug, the wire, cleaning the contracts and bridging them with some metal (so it thought it was shut) and then clicking the fob a few times.
.. and got it shut before it got dark.
