Re: [DML] Stuck drivers side door

["DMC Joe" <dmcjoe@xxxx>]

There are several causes for a non-opening door. The price for repair varies
depending on the complexity of the procedure combined with the total labor
time involved. As an example several common problem relate to adjustments
inside the door. Labor times for internal adjustments range from 30 min. for
a simple bellcrank adjustment to 3 hours to removal and replacement of the
entire lock and latch system.

If you have access to the car we can give you a couple of simple tests that
may help to determine the cause of the problem.
