RE: Spider door locks

["John Paradiso" <johnp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I had the same situation, I kept yanking hard on the handle until I
snapped it right off (Yes, I'm an idiot).Boought a door handle off ebay,
took off the door panels and silicon sprayed the lock mechanism. Opens
and closes like new. If only I'd been smart enough to use the silicon
before I snapped the door handle! Hope that helps

Subject: Spider door locks


After months of warning me that it was going to happen, the outside door

handles on my '86 Spider have ceased to operate the lock. The handle
springs 
back properly and the interior handle opens the door. I suspect that
once I 
remove the door panel, the cause and remedy will be fairly apparent. On
the 
other hand, I'm sure somebody has done a lot of these. Any suggestions?
