Door Issue
I have a 1968 with a very rusted frame. The passenger door will not open. The latch is working, I have jacked it up to relieve the stress on the door and it still won't open. Without wrecking the door or quarter, any ideas?

Hi l,
I think then your best hope is to flood the latch mechanism with wd40 and try to get the lock **** working.
You MIGHT be able to reach down along the inside of the glass (long thin tool like a hacksaw blade) and push on the lever that the rod from the lock **** attaches to in order to unlock the latch.
Regards,
Alan

68 door
I looked at a spare I had and seen how far it has to go to open, I pulled the inside latch handle as far as it would go and put a large screwdriver on the latch inside the door and pushed a bit further and it clicked open.
