small problem, but a pain...
It's a nit, but a pain. My son unscrewed the door lock in the rear seat and now it will no longer engage with the mechanism. The door is permantently locked from the outside.
Any ideas? Do I need to go to the dealer or is there an easy way to fix this?
Thanks.

1) SRS badge, there should be a screw behind it
2) The plastic handle, there should be a screw behind it
3) The door lock latch, there're a couple of screws there
Then tug the whole panel UPWARD (OR you might be able to pull the panel out a bit and get the door pin to fit in place without tugging the whole thing out).
I hope I've saved you an hour of labor at the MB dealership!! Good luck!!

That happened with my crappy old set of Brabus Door pins, Try hitting lock,getting a needle nose and fish for the top of the door pin screw then yank it out. If not take the door pannel off.
Harris is coorect on the screws
