Got an '81 300TD Turbo that I cannot get the back hatch open on. I'm told
the previous owner locked it from the inside (forced the lock maybe) and it
is refusing to unlock. Anyone have any experience with these latch
assemblies and how they work, or know where I can get a diagram of one?
I've tried to look in there to see what was going on, but you can't see
much.
Have you tried to unlock it with the key in de lock of the hatch??

Yes I did that. Got it open. The locking mechanism was bound, probably
from the previous owner forcing the lock down.
