burglarized...passenger door now doesnt open
Yep.... stereo, speaker, and CD's taken in a hotel parking lot. Pass side door lock cylinder popped out. Had no idea it was that easy. At least they didnt break a window or rip my vert top.
Anyway....the door will open like 8 out of ten times I try. It opens a bit but gets caught on the striker (despite triggering the lock actuator from inside and trying to unlock it from outside).
From diagrams, it looks like there is a clip on the inside of the door panel that holds the lock cylinder in place. I imagine this thing was broken or fell off into the door.
I was going to pull the panel and inspect but just wanted to know if anyone else has encountered this before and what their experinces were.
