Re: Grinched door?

[John Hammond <426_maxwedge@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

When I started on my 64 wagon one of the rear doors had become stuck from 
years of outdoor exposure.  It took severall
days of it - but sparying WD-40 around the opening in particular around the 
latch/striker area using the straw extention it finally
opened.  Once we could see into the jamb it became apparant that the 
latch/striker had rusted and somewhat fused together. Even
with the chemistry aid it still took a lot of COPS type sholder work to get 
it to release.  I'm sure yours can't be as problematic
as this was.   Just be patient and proceed with caution and you should 
succeed damage free.  Good Luck & Happy Holidays
