Darrell I'd be willing to bet that you don't have a lock issue. I bet it is the release mechanism for the door. Behind the push button is a bent finger that rides on and pushes against a lever when it is pushed. Either the lever is bent, or possibly the finger is broken. Just my best guess. Good luck in getting the panel off - sounds like one of those things that you need to try. And fiqure out a way to make it happen.rick On Mon, 7 Jan 2002 21:39:11 -0700 "Spencer, Darrell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > > Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List > ------------------------------------------------------------ > > I need to get a "slim jim".
