You know the story you go to Bunnings ,,,come out every white GU looks the same,,,,just saying
I friend did it years ago when I was a subby at the Ford factory, Bloke said take my blue HQ to lunch
he did and parked it a different position, seems a HQ key would open nearly every HQ when worn lo
Its possible eh

Would winding the window up and down touch the rod inside enough to be able to release the door look

Should only take 2 minutes or less using the following tried and tested old school method

Go to (insert appropriate station name for your state here) Railway Station Car Park.
Stand near the vehicle and shout;
"I am not a Cop."
"I betcha $10 you can't open the Drivers Door on this car"
Only works at night tho... and don't take your wallet

Also works on siezed wheel nuts, don't even have to yell anything.
Just park up and walk off for 10 minutes.
When you get back the wheel nuts will be off.
Don't forget to have someone arranged to deliver 4 new rims, tyres and 2 dozen new nuts tho

So this is a problem with all DX's is it,,,, surely then there must be a fix for it then

what a shizzen thing to have happen if the wife borrows the car, Im thinking all
kinds of horrible,

And thats paying for itself now how,,,,,,,, looks like you need to remove the driver seat not that hard to do.
and take it from there, which ever way you look at it the drivers seat needs to come out eh sad as that may be.
Only 4 bolts

Can you put some welding wire {coat hanger] down in between the trim with a hook .
and try and jiggle something that way

I'm sure he could but whether he would want to jiggle it with that sort of tool is another matter altogether
