Hi Thomas ! YouŽve probably already tried this but ... Sometimes IŽve got my doors stuck in a "almost locked and almost closed " position on my Vanagon, with no obvious chance whatsoever to open them, but I found out that a good old fashioned NHL body slam with your sholder hitting near but not on ( that hurts, believe me) the door handle will almost always fix the problem ! DonŽt overdo it in "Eric Lindroos style" or youŽll end up with a dented door and/or broken collarbone, Vanagons are tough and heavy :-) Good luck Calle -88 Vanagon Mullhyttan, Sweden |
