Blow the bloody doors off

[Miggly]

Afternoon all, my daughter borrowed my 2016 T6 for a weekend away and had a problem opening the drivers side barn door.
I’ve had a look and the top lock is releasing but the bottom lock is sticking, sprayed wd40 on it and pulled and pushed but still no joy ?
Trouble getting access to get the panel off because of the r&r bed

Try pushing it shut further a millisecond before you try to open.

Tried that push/ pull/ wiggle/ prayer to the van gods……still no joy

On the plus side I’ve discovered a few rust patches that I can get sorted

Sorted it now, managed to take door cladding off and the metal rod had detached, flimsy little thing that goes from door handle to a push fit on the lock.
