Hi everyone,
I’m dealing with a frustrating issue with my 2012 Seat Ibiza (Mk5). The rear right door is completely stuck — it won’t open from the inside or the outside.
I suspect the child safety lock is engaged, and now neither the inside nor the outside handles work. Central locking has no effect on that door either, and I can’t hear any movement from the lock actuator.
The problem is:
Has anyone faced this before? Is there a trick to release the lock when the door is shut and child lock is on?
Any help or advice would be really appreciated!
Thanks

The problem is:
- I can’t open the door to remove the interior trim and access the mechanism.
- I tried pulling the handle while unlocking with the remote — no change.
- The lock might be dead, or the linkage disconnected.
Has anyone faced this before? Is there a trick to release the lock when the door is shut and child lock is on?
