I pulled the lever and experienced that lil bit of resistance right before it clicked. Went around to my car and the door wasnt open. I tried pulling it open with a small piece of plastic and that didnt work either. I tried pushign it open and it still is locked. Tried opening it while someone pulled the lever too still no luck. Any help wuold be great as not being able to put gas into the car is kind of a big deal. Also when you pull the lever you still hear a click near the back where the gas thign is.

Pull off the carpet on the inside of the car near the door and push the little release lever with your hand.

Crow Bar!

or that..

Am i going to have to pull this release lever everytime i want to fill up my tank?

No your going to have to figure out why is doesn't work and fix it.

k, thanks.

But for now you can do what 13BAce said and get it open.

I never fixed it on my convertible, but only because I had no interior trim in the trunk and I had to open the trunk every time to get my 2 cycle oil.

You probably just need to adjust things. Your cable may be going bad, who knows.

omg thank you https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683894.gif

I figured it out. I went back at it last night and it turned out i simply wasnt pulling the lever far enough. I had to pull it at a 90 degree angle before it would open.



I'm surprised it didnt break. Before i was pulling until it felt like it was going to snap off but i decided to keep pulling and pulled even harder and the door finally popped open. Still, it feels like the mechanism needs to be calibrated perhaps.

See, it wasn't that hard. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

Weaksauce...

I feel ******* stupid. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683358.gif

that happened to mine.

i pulled out the whole latch assembly thing and cleaned/lubed it up. worked it back and forth for a while and put it back in.

good as new

just a warning I broke the trunk release cable on my other vert by

pulling up on it hard.



Take the plastic plunger apart and sand it down a bit, it tends to

get fucked up over time, then lube it up good with anti-seize

or even a bit of wheel bearing grease, you can even use some

vasoline if you dont have any of the other lubes.



Then put it back together and bend the little springy thing out

a bit so it releases the door better when the cable is pulled.

Well.. that is inevitable..
