How to open Berlingo van 2016 L1 back doors from inside?

[Ropo8015]

Hi all, 

I have recently converted a 2016 Berlingo van, L1 enterprise to a campervan and I would love to be able to open the back doors from the inside. Does anyone know if this is possible? Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

I'll take a look at mine, I noticed you can't open them from the inside when I climbed in to put the soundproofing on the roof panels. Shame, you could open the m59 rear door from inside. Would be handy.

Just an idea , dont have a Li model but I imagine it has central locking?.  If so could they be opened with a press button wired into the loom and when pressed operate the lock.  My skoda has a unlocking button on the console so why not have one beside the rear door..
Could it be wired with a diode so that it just opens the back door instead of all the doors?

You can unlock just the load bay doors from the key and buttons on the dash, but that doesn't allow you to open the door from the inside when camping inside mate. That's what the OP is after.

There's no handle on the inside of the B9 rear doors.

Strange, i had handles on my sliding door and my rear doors with my old B9 - the K9 certainly has

Well oddly my B9 van has a handle inside on the sliding door, but none on the rear main door, however there are holes in it, that look suspiciously like where the old handle used to be on the m59's I had.

Maybe a handle can be bought and connected up? The car version may have the rear handle as standard.

I do also have a weird yellow device at the bottom of the rear main door, that if turned, blocks the rear doors from opening at all, even if unlocked. Not sure what that is meant to be for!

Zion, many thanks for looking into this! I will look into buying an interior handle for this, although I have not found anything so far. I have also spotted the yellow device, looks like a drop-bolt for extra security perhaps?

Ok, here are two I found on Ebay, look like they might be the actual thing:

Hi Zion, I had a look at these but to me they look like the internal handle on the sliding door! What do you think?

Not sure, one says rear right, but yeah could be either. I'm going to have a look at catcar to see if I can find the part number. The car has an up and over door so the handle won't be the same. But on my rear door, there's a teardrop shaped hole with 3 holes surrounding it, must be for an internal handle.

May even be identical to the side door one.
