Something inside the door snapped when I was opening the door from the inside today, ugggg as I am driving to Atlanta tomorrow for a DE at Road Atlanta.
Here is what happened:
Parked car, shut off ignition
Lifted inside door handle, window dropped, and then I opened the door (I do it in two phases to give the window time to drop).
Somewhere during/after this, something inside the door snapped. The inner door handle can be returned to the closed position, but it is there loosely.
Here's what works:
I can open the door from the inside or the outside
I can roll the window up or down using the controls inside the car
Here's what doesn't work:
When the window is fully raised, it does not drop when lifting either inner or outer door handle, and does not drop when door is opened.
Here's what I haven't tested:
Locking or unlocking the door
Opening the convertible top to see if the windows will drop
I can live with this for now, by opening the window slightly before getting out.
Does anyone know what it is? It doesn't seem to match any of the symptoms I have seen.
If it was an inner door handle microswitch I would think that the window would drop when the outer handle was lifted.
If it was the cable to the door locking mechanism I would figure the door wouldn't open from the inside.
If anyone knows what this is, is it safe to take for the weekend? I guess as long as I can lower the window (works) and latch the door (works) I should be fine for DE
Thanks
