Default What if anything can be done here??

Question ....
What if anything can be done to the rear hatch/lock/trim so that access can be obtained to get to the lock so that the rear door can be opened to change a defunct lock?

I'm thinking preventative maintenance.

Could and would a flap cut into the rear door trim panel allow meaningful access, so that the rear door could be opened, to replace the locking mechanism?

It may be possible with the trim removed before the door won't open to make a neat job of such a panel.

It would seem that lock failure and all its problems is an issue with these cars..

Comments/thoughts as usual appreciated..


Cheers
Bob
