    NP rear door not opening.

    I had this problem where the door was half latched and the handle wouldn't engage, two hands on the door and a firm shove and its all better now, hope this helps.

    While you can still get the door open, you should take the inside panel off and clean all the dust and muck out of the latching mechanism and re lube it,

      DITTO. It is amazing how much crap gets in there and siezes the mechanism up. I have pressure cleaned mine and then liberal amouts of wd and lubricant, as the wd will dry out

        You may also find the hinges are worn and could need replacing or adjusting. I had to have mine replaced a little while ago and it made all the difference.

          I had my door lock up a few times. When I got it open I cleaned it as much as I could. Eventually it could not be opened at all. I had to cut it open, a very big job, and replaced the door with one I got from a wrecker. With angel grinders, pneumatic chisels, big hammers it took me about 5 hours to get it open. Easier to get into a safe. keep it clean if you can.
