I'm reasonably sure its the cylinder inside the door handle. Back before I sold
the car I'd had this issue off and on but I was chasing it by occasionally
lubing with PB Blaster to loosen things up followed by brake cleaner followed
by graphite.
Then I sold the car and the new owner didn't touch the locks for 2 years...
I've been hitting the locks with penetrant hard for a couple weeks and the
passenger one is starting to gain, the driver's lock has gained a little
(dammed little, 1/32" maybe). I think eventually I'd get the locks freed up
through persistance but as I say I want to get this car on the road... I want
to have the ability to have my 190D off the road for awhile so I can pay some
attention to the A/C which I don't dare to do if I need the car to go to work
the next day...
I want to do like Wilton and have time to take the A/C components apart and do
the job RIGHT...

Not having time to look at the innards of our car's doors, I think you
would be wise to not cut it.

That's for sure.
But you're not clear what the problem is: Is it the parts inside the door
handle, or the parts inside the door that the parts inside the door handle
turn?
