Hey guys,
I have a 97 l400 that now has its rear door/hatch/boot/trunk stuck! The handle moves freely and sounds like it is no longer connected to the actuator rod inside the door panel.
Anyone have any experience taking off the panels from the inside? Any tips as to not cause so much damage?
I'm honestly thinking about using a diagram to cut an "access panel" in the plastic to the rough location of the handle/actuator. Hoping that might save the entire back panel if it's a particularly risky job.
Biggest question: anybody know where I could also find some replacement plastic clips before I get started on this project?
Really want to have all my ducks in a row before I tear apart the back half of the van.
Thanks!
