I am sad to have to post about this matter but I think Funsters should be aware of the situation.
Several years ago I was attending a Funster meet in the Wagon (aka The Black Beauty) when the rear doors locked shut. The key would not unlock them.
Being a Funster meet, several folk wandered over to offer help and after several discussions had taken place, the course of action decided on was the "strong crowbar method".
Within seconds the rear handle, button and barrel lock were removed (permanently) and the doors could be opened by pushing on the catch through the hole left by the missing handle.
Now, of course, this hole in the rear door would let rain in but it couldn't be permanently blocked off as one needed to be able to get at that catch.
I knew I could get a new (to me) handle from a scrappy in Portugal so didn't want to buy a new (expensive) one in Blighty.
Up steps Graham (GJH) of Motorhome Parking fame.
He looks at the problem and instantly forms a Project Management Solution.
He pops back to his van and returns with a roll of high quality Duct tape with which he proceeds to fashion a cover to stick over the hole.
Now here is the complaint.
Even though this repair took place only a couple or four or five years ago, look at the state of the repair now!
Shoddy workmanship or what?
