door lever issues (not long)

[sad_rocc at yahoo.com (Dan Smith)]

The locks don't matter if that's what matters. None of the locks on the car seem to work anyways. I would just take the handle off and use the 'poke around in the hole to open' method that eventually was used on my 16v but I don't really want snow/rain to get in there. Plus it seems that that's just saying 'Please open me' to the rest of the world.

driver's door opens fine. When it's cold, I have to push in the door while
squeezing the hell out of the latch to get it to open. Extreme pain in the
ass (and fingers). Pass. side works fine all the time. Do I hose the
mechanism down with WD-40? Replace some little bit? Swap bits from the pass
side? Nobody really rides in the pass. seat and I never do, so screw 'em!
