Hi everyone,

Does anyone know how could I take the rear passenger door panel off while the door is closed?

My door is stuck, and I believe that it is a broken handle again. The same thing happened to the driver side rear door, but then I had someone take it off for me (same situation: door did not open, broken handle)

If anyone knows, a reply would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Geoff.

P.S. Just some extra info!

When this happened the first time, I repaced the door lock, handle and actuator because the handle was cracked on the inside. The feeling when I try to open the passenger side rear door is the same as before with the driver side rear door, when I pull on the handle, it feels like it is not connected to anything. (it is really loose)

If you have anymore questions, reply and I will get back to you today.

Instead of pulling the handle out, try to lift it upwards.

Hi everyone,

I actually fixed the problem. The problem was the handle on the inside. The spring that is connected the the rods were severly rusted. I got it open one day by luck, because it just decided to work one day. That is when I just took the panel off until I got the parts.

I just replaced the handle. I got it from a salvage yard for about five dollars.

If you have the same exact problem, what could fix it, if it is the spring, is to just soak the spring with WD40 oil to loosen it up.

Geoff.
