Could you describe what the probem with the door is ? I just completed a repair on my passenger side door. It would not open from the inside of the car.
Where, exactly, are you?
It might be easier to just have some come over to help.
the problem is that the threaded rod on the outside door handle doesn't
line up with the inside mechanism.
Also the car is at my shop min Fairfield Ct.
If its a Vs there is suppose to be a lever rod that attaches at th botton of the door inside near the bottom .. The treaded rod goes though a hole in it 3/4 the way up it and the top of it catches the latch lever Its curved shaped about 18 inches long and is 3/8 pipe... Anyone have a pic of it because im not taking my D apart .. AGAIN!! But you can get pipe stock at a hardware store
Mr Ducan At Vintage Speester could sell you apair,, but its not that hard to make,. Use the inner door shape to figure out the lengh and curve and there shoud be a 1/4 inch hole near the bottoms of your doors below the latches ( very near the bottom). for a 1/4 x 20 carrage bolt.. to bolt in the bottom of the rod Use the door shape to make the curve in both rods and bend them untill everything line up ..(and moves very freely)!!!
