Re: [FWDLK] 1957-1958 Jammed Door Mechanism

[David Charles Gedraitis <dcg@WPI.EDU>]

I had the same problem-once I pulled the door panel off, it was an easy
fix. One of the little rods had popped off the linkage, and all I had to
do was push it back where it belonged (it was quite obvious) and that did
it. The hardest part was removing the window crank. Good luck,
