Urgent help needed - rear door locks jammed

Featured Replies

Can anyone help? Our son's friend has put his fingers into the door catches of our Yeti whilst the door is opened and managed to click them closed so now the door will not shut!

All this wouldn't be too bad if it weren't dark, we have to park on the street, and we're going out in about 30 minutes...

HELP!

Have you tried unlocking the doors on the remote?

Handcuffs for the child.

Try lock and unlock on the remote?

Has he set the child locks whilst the door handle is lifted?

Thanks everyone - panic over

He'd pushed the catch mechanism down with his finger and it wouldn't release again - however the solution was more brain less brawn - I wasn't lifting the handle at the same time as jimmying it free again with a finger/screwdriver combo.

Lesson learned as that's far too easy to do...!

Common issue with kids, even done a similar thing cleaning the car :S

As you found out you need to get the lock to think your opening it from a closed position by simulating the latch plate with a screwdriver.
