Hey all, last weekend some tiprat smashed my stageas rear windsceen. Ive had the windscreen replaced and its all good now so thats not the issue, but i think some glass may have fallen down and maybe got caught in the door release or something and now i can't open the rear door.

Just wondering if anyone has any ideas how to fix it or a way to get the interior lining off the back?

Any help would be much appreciated, cheers.

i remember when i had mine smashed i had to pull out all the rear trim to pull it out.

did u do it? or there place?

does auto close work? and does it feel locked ? ( eg. the handel is weighless) or does it feal like its being pressured?

Nah it was covered by insurance and it got changed while i was at work. Got no auto door and it is deffinately unloocking because you can feel the mechanism getting disengaged.

I think i might just need to clean the glass out but im not really sure what the actual problem is. I had the locksmith have a quick look at it today and he said it was trying to open but there was maybe something jammed in there and stopping the latch opening.

Mine did the same, the handle had come off inside. I had to take the handle off from the outside, the trim and then unbolt the handle to get the lever. The trim is held on with 2 clips, u can get them off while its on the car, but it may break.

this may sound a bit silly, but lock the doors then try opening the rear as my central locking went out of sync once and the rear would open when the car was locked and not open when the car was unlocked, it sorted itself.

    • Only thing I'd add...is on recommendation from a good diff shop, I've used mineral oil in my diff including the race car for years. The synthetics can be too slippery and glaze the gears
    • 75W90 GL5 is fine. If you aren't sure about the type get one with LSD additive. 
    • Because you're effectively rushing the shift and forcing it to go in - with greater leverage against parts that don't _want_ to go together. Short shift = forcing the gear in harder. Also Redline Heavy Shockproof actively says not to use it in anything with Synchros. Well, it says "not recommended" which is basically as far as anyone will ever say in a product statement to "Do not use" Generally the Redline makes the gearbox feel great... until it fails faster. https://www.redlineoil.com/heavy-shockproof
    • 99.9% of them are viscous diffs. The 0.01% are helicals. They were only option-able in the series 2, as well. I have redline heavy shockproof in my helical. It seems... fine? I don't think anyone is ever going to know until something really breaks and at that point I'm not sure anyone will blame the oil. I just chose it because it's extremely heavy duty and my car will see not-road-legal duty for it. I've also had sadness with various diff oils in the past sweating out everywhere and/or other 'fun' things, with clutch diffs. Given you have a 1.5 way on the shelf, I'd not even bother with the diff in the car and just get to tinkering with it. I would spend the $90 on oil toward the labor of someone else putting the diff in if time poor even lol.
    • I believe mine is helical and not clutch type. During drifting one wheel was spining as if it was open diff so bought kazz 1.5 way and has sat on my shelf for the past 5 years as I want to learn shiming process and do it myself   in meantime thought I change the diff oil hence post here. So any 75-90?   i am pretty sure r34 are helical not clutch lsd as standard . That is gtt ones
