Thanks for the
update, Jim! I had wondered how this came out. I was the one with
the idea to lie in the back seat and force them open. Glad that worked
out!!! I was sure that would be better than ripping up the door
panels.

Subject: IML: Frozen
Doors
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.
