Subject:I'm locked in and can't get out

Well, not using the driver's door, anyway.

For those who missed my earlier post, here it is again with some minor
changes:

The drivers door in my '85 Westy suddenly wouldn't latch.  I depressed
the locking plunger to see if that would keep the door closed until I
got it home.  Well, it did.  Now pulling the plunger up doesn't unlock
it (or allow it to unlatch) causing me to have to exit elsewhere.  Using
the key I can raise and lower the plunger but the door still doesn't
unlock (or unlatch).

Is this going to be a bear to get to with the door shut?  Anyone ever
had this type of problem?

Thanks,

Mike
