yes,the outer handle should open the door if inside handle is in unlocked position. have you oiled your inner mechanism on both sides at oil change intervals? they should be oiled per vw lube instructions as does carb linkage and many other lube and grease points. i would remove both assy and clean then as they are probably gummed up and then relube everything and re install them. check for worn parts after cleaning old grease,oil and dirt. ----- Original Message ----- From: "William Richardson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Air-Cooled Volkswagen Discussion List" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, June 03, 2008 5:45 PM Subject: [vintagvw] '58 Bug door handle problem
