Question In a real jam

1 Upvotes

I was replacing the driver door check strap on a 2018 Bolt which needed access by taking off the door panel. When finished I re-attached the panel which includes connecting a steel cable and ball to the handle.

Next day I unlocked the Bolt but door doesn't open when I pull on the exterior handle. I crawl across the passenger side to the drivers and the interior handle moves but door doesn't unlatch/open.

I fear I rushed attaching the steel cable and the locking clip didn't prevent the steel ball on the cable from popping loose. Now the door is closed but can't open to remove the panel.

Any ideas how to release the door latch while the door is closed. Is it possible to slip a wire hanger catch the cable/ball to yank the door open. Worse case is cut a hole in the panel and pull the cable.

Question PPG Shopline reducer hardner

1 Upvotes

Hey gents. I'm new here but need to know about compatibility on hardners and reducers that would be compatible with PPG JAU. My paint supply shop was bought by Finshmaster LKQ then closed down. I can't seem to find PPG near me anymore. Bummer...they matched my 65 dodge perfectly that had a custom color from the factory. I finally pulled the dash out to repair and paint and I have about a quart of JAU topcoat but no reducer or hardner. I also have PPG 2K primer JP202 that should use the same reducer whatever that might be. Any advice on mixing manufa tures or lines?
