HI All,
I have a Vanagon 1987, Automatic transmission equipped with power windows. The car work very good. Suddenly today i can not open the hatch back door.
Usually each time i unlock the driver door then the hatch back door automatic open too but now I can not open the hatch back door. Even i insert the key in for manual open, the key can not fully turn to the right. Please help and show me how to correct this problem.
Thanks so much, |

Can you turn the key to the right at all? Like 45 degrees or so. If so, try to push the knob with the key in that position. It should open. Note that you cannot remove the key in that position, but you should be able to open the hatch. _________________ 1991 VW Multivan syncro 1,9 TD |

Use a high-quality silicon lube for the tumbler and the turning mechanism. That solved my own horrible problems. Tri-Flo is expensive, but wonderful.
