Can anyone give me a good explanation of how to access the door opener mechanism(basically the most important stuff *behind* the handle) so I can oil it? The passenger(left side- in Australia) door has been squeaking when the handle is pulled up, and now the key won't unlock the door, at least without some force. I also think a lack of grease is what is causing the handle to vibrate when music is playing(door-mounted speakers).

No other doors do this, so I'm thinking maybe the decaying window scraper thing is letting water in, which is washing away the lubricant. I'd love to get this and several other things fixed up, but I just can't afford to for now.

So is this an easy thing to get at, or maybe is there a web page which could help me out here?

'Tis an '83 240GL.
