Hello!

I have a 1990 Delta 88.  The rear driver's side door is
stuck closed.  It has been like that for some months now,
but now I need to be able to open it to install a roof
rack...

There is not as much sound from the broken door as there
is from the working door when the switch is moved to the
unlock position (it sounds like there are more mechanical
things happening on the working door).  The lock/unlock
lever does get pushed up and down by the power lock, so I
don't think the breakage is in the inside lever area.

There is not as much resistance on the inside door open
lever and on the outside door open button as I seem to
feel on the working door (both locked and unlocked).

I've removed the plastic plate behind the inside door
lever and can see the lock/unlock linkage and the door
open linkage.  They appear to be attached to the inside
door lever properly.

I also removed two screws that hold the door panel, but
with the door being closed, I can't remove the panel
itself.  I don't know if there are other fastners that I
can't access, or if the door being closed is preventing
that from happening.

I actually have the Olds factory service manual, but the
door section is less helpful than other sections I've
read.  I can't figure out how to remove the door trim
with the door closed, and I can't open the door without
getting the trim off (well, maybe I can't figure out how
to open it with the trim off either  :P ).

Does anyone have ideas how I can open the door at all?
And even better would be how I can fix the door so that
it will open in the future.  :)

Thanks in advance,

Andre
