Door problems.

[paul p (chi-town)]

Crap.
So i open the rear drivers door on the 3er to drop some stuff in the back and now the door won’t close and latch.
Sprayed it down w/ some PB blaster and fiddled w/ the catch in the door, but it won’t hold.
Any ideas before i strip down the door, remove the window (per Bentley) yadda, yadda.
Yeah i know we have a 3er forum but the latch mechanism looks to be the same.
