Re: Driver's door lock problem?

[Brendan Rudack <rudack@ucsub.colorado.edu>]

It sounds like your having the same problem that I did with my 90Q.  
The driver door lock actually broke.  My dealer replaced two items that 
they call(Lock cylinder $20, and lock lever $5)  Unfortunately with labor 
the repair cost about $100.  The door needs to be taken apart.  Recently 
I had my passenger door lock fixed for free(a towing company payed the bill)
I had illegally parked my car on a steep grassy hill next to the loading 
dock at 
school and they tried to tow it.  I came out before he got my car onto 
his truck.  He could not get his truck up the snowy hill so he "slim 
jimmed" the door open and rolled my car down the hill. Ended up breaking the 
lock and dishing out the $100.
	You may want to stop by your service department and get an estimate.
