My Sliding door has jammed!!!!! Help!!!!!!

[Harry]

If you want to remove the handle you'll need to remove a U shaped clip...don't try and force things!!!

There's summut about it in the members area.

good luck

No word from Dandy yet - I wonder who he's getting on with his door, which has been playing up.

Hi......my door only acted up once and has been fine since - strange one!

[Tom Cruise]

My door got stuck last week, I had to take the top part of the panel off from the inside down to the door handle pulled it back then on the right hand side of the door I pulled the rods and the door opened. I sprayed wd40 everywhere and have had no problems since.

I think if the door is not shut properly or tried to be opened when locking it causes a problem.

Not a big job taking the panel off, just be careful when pricing the clips off.

Good luck

Thank you Tom.

It seems I must get that door panel off again and have another go at pulling the rods. Will try tomorrow.

Obviously if I have success I will let everyone know.

Cheers.

Have been too busy today to have another go at the door.

All rear access for my passengers.

Every week or so I spray all the lock bits, hinges and door workings and everything else that might stick. I use a maitenance spray rather than wd 40, as wd 40 evaporates and wears off very quick, the maintenance sprays last longer, I also use spray grease for the sliding door and so far I have never had a problem. Fingers crossed. Happy motoring.
Forgot to say the maintenance spray is one used by professional mountain bikers from good cycle shops, it is mud and waterproof, brill stuff.

HOOOOOORRRRAAAAYYYYYYY!!!!!

I have opened the door!!!!!!!

Many many big thank yous to everyone that offered some very useful advise.

A sick was in deed needed to push right down to the bottom mechanics. Whilst I was prodding around my stick slipped and clouted a bit of mechanism that gave a lovely click sound. The sort of sound and kertwang that sounded just like something releasing!!!!!

I paused for a moment with my hand hovering over the door handle and then went for the big one......... it pulled open!!!!!!!! I left out of the open door and punched the air...... then collected myself as I do have neighbours and went for the next big one...... closing the door.

YES!!!!! The Bongo door purr returned. After a few test goes I thought I had better get onto thwe forum and announce my success.

I also disconnected the battery before closing the door as everyone has been advising. Spraying the insides with a lubricator type thing is a good idea too. Pity I had put the door back together before reading that.

Well folks, if I can get a jammed Bongo door to open then anyone can!!!!

Thanks again all those that took trouble to write.

Tunoid.

Brilliant news tunoid - you've given me hope for the day when mine does it!! Did you get any real idea what was causing it and what might have triggered it? Anyway, fantastic news, now b*gger off and do some Bongoing

[Mark & Shelly]

Try checking your battery condition, when ours got stuck it was just before the battery gave up & died. I think if they are low and you keep going in and out when the engine hasn't run for a while, then they can get stuck half way through the Whizz/click routine.

Guess nobody needs to tell you how lucky you have been. Well done!
