So me and my bud have been working on trying to get my rear passenger door open. It seams to be the bottom mechanism is rusted shut. We disconnected the handle from the rods. We can get the top latch unlatched. Our problem is we don't know how to get the bottom one undone. I need this done for work coming up.

Any help/ideas would greatly be appreciated.
Thanks ahead of time.

 

Same thing happened to my 01,

It's not rusted but it could have played a roll in it.

There is a latch at the top and the bottom of the door. One of the rods in the door that release the top or bottom latch has come off of the handle.

You will have to get your hand/arm in there and pull on the rod while pulling on the door handle. Some can get into the inside of the door with out removing the back seat.

 

i had the same problem the previous post nailed it.
