Problem he left me was the door no longer opens using the inside or the outside handles. Window is down, I could climb in but it would do me no good. The car is inside with the passenger side against the wall. I would have to cut down a support beam to get it moved in order to open the passenger door and remove the seat. I really don't want to do that. What can I sneak down the channel opening to pull on the lock lever & open the door? It is not locked by the way, push button is just not connected to the opening device. Hey Sidom! Here's another one!!

Check with tool persons for shops or use a AAA type service to open door. Taking a door panel off with it shut can damaged it as you can see. Wire may work but go easy on rubber parts in if a power door you risk hurting wiring with any tricks, T chickenhouse Enthusiast Nov 22, 2009, 8:41 AM Post #3 of 4 (2637 views) Re: Door probs Sign In I do hace a slim jim but I would like to know if there are any rods or levers that would open the door. I DON'T know if he left anything attached inside the door. He shut the door and neither door handle works- inside or out. Non power.
