My passenger door looks like it has dropped a bit and it won't release, it is stuck and will not open.
Are there any tricks to opening the door? It is a clubman.

It is probably the rocker arm on the linkage that has moved, it mounts on the door handle nuts.

Removing the hinges isn't going to remove a door with a burst proof lock.

No but it will free up the linkage by removing the load, if any.
[ps if you have a head-on like my son did, the hinges broke- it DID remove the door from the `burst proof lock!] :lol:
