[C320-list] FW: Re: Head door removal

[Karl Mielenhausen _/)]

My 2000 C320 has a lock access hole just above the door handle. It is covered with a rubber plug. Once the plug is removed, a 3/16" flat blade screwdriver does the trick. I've been keeping one in my chart table, now I know why!!!

Mike<br>  just slide a knife down between the door and jam at the lock it has no dead pin and will slide right back and the door will open then reset the lock<br>  Al Ahlman<br>       #476<br><br>-------------- Original message -------------- <br>From: "Lachance, Michael B (ISD, IT)" <MLaChance at thehartford.com> <br><br>> After daysailing with four 11 year old boys, we mysteriously found the head door <br>> locked from the inside.
