Rear Door Problems & Radiotor
 

Sup guys,

First thing is my door. I went to open my back left door one day and the handle moved freely but the door didnt open, like it was locked, which it wasnt. So like the idiot I am I thought it might be the child safety lock that someone accidently hit while messing around, so i opened the door from the inside and moved the safety switch. Im stupid and didnt realize that the child safety lock restricts the door from opening from the INSIDE, not the outside, so anyways now it doesnt work at all and i cant get it open. Any suggestions? If there is no easy way to fix the door, is there at least a way to disable the child safety lock without having to open the door so it will at least open from the inside?

And second, my radiator is plastic and has a small crack in it near the mounting bracket and is leaking fluid like crazy, gotta refil like every 2 days. Anywho, is there a way to temporarily or permanently seal it back up? Or would i just have to buy a new one? I heard cracking an egg in it works, but i dont trust the guy who told me that... =)

Thanks...

Since you are stuck with this for three weeks already and the reason for your initial problem would be outside door handle anyway, I think the least damage way will be to break your door handle. You still have to replace it most probably, cause I guess it just has broken hinge or something, that's why it did not work in the first place.

Get the new one, look at the design and see what and how you can brake/cut/drill to remove it from the door without damaging anything else. Then just go for it. As soon as you get handle out of your way, you can use pliers to open the door pulling or pushing on whatever link goes to handle.

EDIT: And I would remove the interior cover from the other door and explore inside, to make myself more familiar with it...
