[V8] help! need photos of door lock mechanism

[Buchholz, Steven]

BTDT ... fortunately when I was at home.  My solution was to open the
trunk and blow air into the lock plumbing ... just look for the green
plastic line ... pretty sure its on the right side of the trunk and goes
up the right side hinge ...

Now I keep a small bicycle air pump in the trunk of each car ...
