Can anyone help me get the rear door on our '92 9000CS LPT please?

It's been stuck shut for several months now, so I've set about it today as
it's not too cold and not raining.. yet.

I've got the interior trim panel off, so I can poke about at the mechanism,
but no matter what I try, the door will not budge? Thought I'd stop and ask
the group before I start kicking it or take a crow bar to it, so any
suggestions welcomed.

Thanks

Not much to say, except that first you have to find out what's the sticking
point, then decide appropriate action. The door hinges and latches need
greasing. The problem is not immediate, but after 10 years or so it begins
to show. I was disappointed that this was not done at a main dealer service.
Then I went around the car and gave all hinges a generous dollop of Castrol
grease.
