I have a 328 GTS and the driver's door is out of alignment and not able to lock door from outside. Inside. no problem, and once it is locked it will unlock, but the key doesn't seem to go far enough to lock the buttom down. Need advice on fixing.. as well as opeing up door panel to check the rods for the dorr. Thanx
Your message is a bit confusing; is the door out of alignment, or is the lock a problem (key doesn't go in all the way) or both? Removing the door panel is very simple, just remove the lock pull on top (unscrew it), the trim screws around the perimeter, and the screws holding on the armrest assembly. You will also need to unplug the window switches as the panel comes off.
