Door fix



Gerard had problems with his rear doors.

If the rears are not opening, one of the common problems is 
resistance caused by gunk building up at povit points.  You are doing 
the right thing by confirming all vacuum lines are in place, as a 
leak there spells doom.

I recommend opening all four door panels and using white lithium 
grease in a spray can to lubricate EVERY linkage point in the door 
lock mechanisms.  The 5k/100/200 series all suffer from friction at 
these points, and it's the primary cause of door handle breakage on 
the 5k series.
