Re: Cannot open driver's door Posted by SWEDECAR [Email] (#112) [Profile/Gallery] (more from SWEDECAR) on Wed, 15 Apr 2015 09:30:32 In Reply to: Cannot open driver's door, Peter Martin [Profile/Gallery] , Tue, 14 Apr 2015 18:32:02 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
If the key cannot unlock the door from the outside or the pull tab from the inside or if the door is already unlocked but the outside/inside door handles does not operate the door latch, he is in for a lot of hard work.
Most likely, no slim jim will work if the door latch itself has jammed.
I just did a Volvo S70 where I had to lift off the door panel as much as it was possible with door closed and then slowly break apart the complete door lock/latch unit through the little holes there was in the door skin and glass slit.
It took a long long time before I reached the very inside of the latch and could poke on the lever releasing door latch.
So the best advice I can give is to take it to a shop familiar with Saabs and hopefully it is anything else jamming the door except a full break down of latch.
