Here's a tricky one! Locked door

Featured Replies

I guess, there is some way to open driver's door on Octavia mk1 '99, if door handles dont work (which is my case)! Any suggestions?

BFH? :giggle:

BFH? :giggle:

:wonder: :rofl:

I think it's a case of getting the doorcard off and playing with the internals with a BFH until it opens :thumbup:

Climb in from the boot?

Open rear door pull the drivers side door seal away from the front and rear doors. Remove plastic trim between the 2 doors. This will expose the screws holding on the side of the door card. The rest of the screws can be accessed from the inside (searching the site will give a guide if necessary), apart from the ones at the A pillar. After these have been removed, you should have enough space to get your hand in and pull the release cable.
