    I have an old 4 door Accord. No rust, haven't had any leaks but I've had a sporadic problem opening the door for while and now today it won;t open at all. Anybody else have this problem and have a solution? Locks work with key and electric locks work inside. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I had the same problem with a 93 Del Sol but I don't know if the door
    innards are the same on an Accord. You will have to remove the inner door
    panel to remove the handle assembly from the door. On my car, the handle
    actuation/locking mechanism is press fit into the handle assembly and it
    fell out because the handle material cracked around where the assembly is
    press fit in. I was able to reinsert the mechanism into the handle and use
    crazy glue to keep it in place. It has lasted for 2 years. It is not
    easy working in there as there is very little room to fit both hands and
    sporadic problem opening the door for while and now today it won;t open at
    all. Anybody else have this problem and have a solution? Locks work with key
    and electric locks work inside. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
