Really great tip. Had the exactly same problem with my drivers door which had suddenly stuck shut forcing me to clamber in via the passenger side. Prior to watching your video I had already started to work towards removing the door card to investigate further and had removed internal door handle, latch surround and window winder etc. Having viewed your video, I simply pulled door card away in the corner above the lock (made easier by having already removed the latch surround etc) and being able to get a decent view of the door internals found the situation was as exactly as you described it ie the offending 'lug' was stuck. Using a long screwdriver I pushed the 'lug' back in place via the latch cut out/ opening in the door card and was then able to unlock the door without problem. I gave the 'lug' and its spring a blast with WD 40 via the same opening and the lock is now functioning as normal. From start to finish it probably took me less than 5 mins from watching the video to resolving the problem. Much appreciated and many thanks for undoubtedly saving me hours of grief .

thanks - I have what I hope is the same issue, both rear side doors on my td5 wont open. Have gone in through the boot and tried twiddling everything - apart from the reverse of the bit you have pointed out. Fingers crossed when I go to the vehicle today, this solves it. Sorry you had to go through so much to sort it out. Cheers for such a detailed video!

So glad that I came across this video. For some unknown reason my driver side door on my 90 decided to spit its dummy out and not open. After watching your video this made the repair so much easier to which I'm forever grateful. Thanks so much 👍

thanks for the vid I have an issue with one of my doors not locking, sometimes it does sometimes it won't & I haven't figured out why yet. Ive played with the latch positions & checked the wiring to the door actuators. All good. Hopefully when it stops raining I can get a door card off to see what's happening, again... Its painful working on an open drive in winter

Thank you, I have this exact problem and need to do this tomorrow and you've most probably saved me a whole heap of hassle!

Update to that, bloody brilliant, just took me about 3 mins to release the door card from the inside, I couldn't remove it completely but enough to reach in a flick the part in your video and unlock it. Cheers! 👍

Just for info you can also shortcut opening the door as I discovered. I had the exact same problem on my drivers door. Get a small screwdriver and use it to physically push up the pin which then releases the latch on the striker plate. No need to faff about removing the door or even the door card. Once it is pushed up and the lock is in the unlock position you should be able to open the door as normal. I practiced on the passenger door to check how it worked. Got that trick from another KZfaq vid.

Hey - can you expand on this a little? What pin are you pushing up with the screwdriver? About to tackle this and don't mind taking the door card off, but would be good to avoid if I could! A link to the other YT vid would be great as well.

C'mon guys, how did this help! The title says " Stuck door" this door was already open?

Not sure I get you. It was stuck shut, then I unstuck it.
