Hi again -
Just wanted to thank everyone on the list that came up
with ideas to open the rear doors on my '62 Imperial. By using a
combination of the suggestions I was rewarded with success over the past
weekend. The culprits turned out to be frozen power door lock
actuators. Once I disconnected them, the outside handles worked
perfectly. It took two of us: Me lying down on the rear seat pushing
with my legs and a friend holding onto the shaft of the inside handle
pushing it in the open position. Once open, I sprayed the mechanisms with
PB Blaster followed by compressed air and a generous helping of White Lithium
Grease. They now work fine. The lock actuators will literally bear
looking into.
My thanks to Paul, Eric, John and many others. I
couldn't have done it without you.
