Passenger door stuck

Postby seanmau5 » Fri Jul 08, 2011 9:20 pm

So, I've had problems with the driver's door not locking and unlocking the last few months..

Now my passenger door is stuck.. Like stuck stuck

I can't take the door card off because I can't get the door open. The lock on the inside is in the 'unlock' position but the door still won't open

So long story short, how do I open the door?

I did this to my RHR by not putting the locking cables together properly, managed to get the door card off (with some effort) and get my hand up and open it. you can get the cards off, its just alot of effort. Does it not work with the key either?

I'm hoping it's only a cable... So you managed to get your hand in between the card and skin to open the door? Through the top? Passenger door doesn't have a key hole

I took the card off completely.. Too tight otherwise. I needed to see what I was doing

Ok, so I've got the door handle cover off and exposed one screw, how much force is required to remove the little cover behind the silver door latch on the inside? I've been prying and prying and I'm pretty sure it's about to break..

there are 2 under the door handle, one at the top of it and one at the bottom. to get the cover off behind the latch use a small flat blade screw driver, theres a small cutout at the top to lever it on without damaging the trim.
