Post Drivers door
Just got back from a French trip in the Spyder and due to the jolting it and me got I now can't open the drivers door. Firstly it got a bit difficult, then I could only open it from the inside now not at all. When I could open it, the door seemed to have dropped a bit and was loose. I presume the hinges are adjusted from inside the door and I have the original hinges so it would appear. Also the central locking actuator seems to be working so I presume something has fallen apart inside the door. Will take the card off and have a look, it feels like when you pull the internal lever it feels as if it is not connected to anything. Just got to get it open to work on it!!
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Original type hinges are adjusted at the top mount outside the door. Bottom one can be moved but door needs lifting off 1st I think. Might just be a control rod jolted off or something worked loose. Also, checked the lock fixing bolts on end of door?

Sounds like the connection bar between the handle and lock has popped off certainly, funny enough my coupe has just done the same thing and it is stationary in the workshop and has been for a couple of years!
