Sliding Door Wont Open From Outside

Post by Al3x147 »

Hi, I have a 1983 van and the sliding door can't be opened from outside. The interior handle works fine but the exterior handle will only lift the catch not move the rod to actually open the door. Does anyone know if it is possible to fix or get a replacement mechanism? Thanks
