The same door lock on our 98 V70 just quit working. It will lock, using the remote or driver's lock/unlock button, but will not unlock. Is it repairable without total replacement? My wife said it happened when our daughter was trying to open the locked door using the door handle, while my wife was trying to unlock it using the drivers lock/unlock button. Not sure if this is the cause, but it's the second time the failure has occurred under these circumstances. The first incident was covered under warranty, this one is not.

Anyone have advice on how to remove a rear passenger door panel on a V70 and what parts may be needed for repair of lock? I would really like for this V70 to hang around long enough to be my daughter's first car, say another 6 years, so I guess I'd better get familiar with making these hopefully minor repairs.

Thanks
