J30 driver Door Won't Open

[GrannyKim]

Driver side door is closed and cant get it open,tried everything to get it open. But,now think the lever come off inside and it wont release .My question is how do I get to it with the door shut,any help would be greatly appreciated.

Take it to dealer or locksmith who may have the special break in tools. Isn't easy as there are protective metal shields.......coat hanger won't work.

There is usually a long warning period of funkiness for the automotive sensitive.

Thanks for the info. I got it open at last. Just needed to get the funkiness off the latch.

I had this problem. Replaced the latch and all was well again. There are several threads on the subject here.
