I have a 1990 Lexus ES250. When I bought the car the Passanger front door latch didn't open the door from the outside, but I didn't bother to fix it because I rarely have passangers with me. Now my door latch has gone faulty, and I can't open my door from inside or out!!! Talk about a safety issue. Anyways now I have to open the RR door, reach over to the RF door open that close the RR get in on the Passenger side, and hop over the center console. Talk about embarrasing too. The reason I haven't tried to fix my drivers door is because Toyota had put two screws on the end of the door panel that when the door is closed are hidden by the dash. I would love to fix this problem, but don't want to cause damage to the door panel by yanking it off with the screws still fastened. Does any one have any sugestions? I love the car, and she runs very well for a 200K+ beast, but the door problem needs to be remedied, and is very bothersome. Thank you all for your help in advance.
