Subject:      Driver's side (please use other door)

The drivers door in my '85 Westy suddenly wouldn't latch.  I depressed
the locking plunger to see if that would keep the door closed until I
got it home.  Well, it did.  Now pulling the plunger up doesn't unlock
it causing me to have to exit elsewhere.  Using the key I can raise and
lower the plunger but the door still doesn't unlock.

Is this going to be a bear to get to with the door shut?  Anyone ever
had this type of problem?

Thanks,

Mike
