Unable to open door...

tcf_dk · 01-23-2009, 04:31 PM

So I had the frozen door ordeal. Took the passenger panel apart and regreased mechanism and cable. Put everything back on and shut the door. Door didn't close all the way but lock latched. Tried to open door to close again and door handle felt like cable was in the locked position. Unlocked door electrically and manually without success with handle. Now I'm stuck without a clue as to how am I going to open the door. Any suggestions to get the door open?

Can you get in from the inside, open it up a little bit and slide a jimmy in there to release the latch? Otherwise I dunno man, that's pretty crazy. Best of luck and keep this thread updated with your progress!

Window can roll down. I can get in and out from the driver side. All kinds of thoughts running through my mind and can't figure out if I was to bring it into a shop or dealer that they would know how to get the door to unlatch either. I can only think of breaking the inside panel if I can't reach and somehow get to the latch. But I rather not have to by a new panel. I need some great ideas from you guys.

Well if you can get it from the inside, then you could possibly remove the panel on the door and get into the latch that way.

Thats funny because I can't get in my driver's door but every other door will open from the outside. I manage to open it from outside but the latch was frozen so I had to mess with the latch until I got it to close. The window will function and the locks but not the opening from the outside. I called the dealer to ask them for a remedy for it but no response. Once I get it in the garage, I'll be fine until tomorrow.

Since it is already red, have you considered just leaving the windows down and painting a rebel flag on the roof?
