Everyone always cuts out the whole awkward getting the panel to stay put while trying to guide it into the upper rail issue haha.

@Anthony_in_Bloomington_Indiana 8 жыл бұрын

Scotty, my door will not open! Everything you did here you did with the door already open. My car is a 2001 Chevrolet Prizm; it is the same car as a Toyota Corolla. The back, driver's side door will not open. I tried removing the inside door handle and pulling on the rod, while also pulling up on the outside handle. No luck. I tried pulling the vertical part (for locking and unlocking the door) with a pair of channel lock pliers, while also pulling up on the outside handle. No luck there either. It's an electric door. So I ran two wires to the battery. (First, I disconnected both battery cables so I did not fry the computer or anything else.) And connected the wires to the battery posts. I tried both ways, switching the two wires around from positive to negative, and vice versa. I could hear a muffled clicking sound both ways, but the door still will not open. This is the door I want to replace. So I started carving up the inside door panel. Then I will try pulling on the rods with my pliers. Something has to work! Greetings from Minnesota!

I'm in that same boat, with no way to get the panel off while the door is stuck shut. I'm surprised there is not a contingency for this type of thing. I'll be looking into how much it will cost for a shop to do the repair, but I'm fairly confident that it will entail cutting or otherwise destroying the panel to access the linkage. Major bummer.

@Darl4791 5 жыл бұрын

@Rushtallica 5 жыл бұрын

@@Darl4791 I've talked to a few mechanics over the phone. Basically, I was referred to an auto-body shop. I also may try a dealership. But the basic assumption is that the door panel will need to be cut up to some degree (maybe even entirely cut off?). I still don't want to do so until I know for sure I'll be able to reach the part(s) needed to pull the latch or whatever to get the door open. I already took apart what little of the panel can be removed, to the point I was able to stick my hand in a little. But I couldn't reach anything to open the door. It will probably take getting the entire panel off to get further into the door. I don't know if many cars are designed this way, but it seems there should be some way to get it fixed without breaking a $500 panel to do so.

Some time ago a friend could not open his door from inside neither outside because something was broken , and even his garage could not fix it without damaging the trim. He abandoned the idea of fixing it until one day a thief opened the door to steal whatever he would found in the car. He found nothing plus the door was now open and easy to fix. Is that lucky or what?

It does this at almost every speed including fast highways. But if you press the gas VERY slowly the car accelerates fine like nothing is wrong with it. Any thoughts on what might be the problem?

That must make Mitsubishi the Chrysler of Japanese cars. They're far worse than Nissan. Now, I'll admit there are some cool cars from Mitsubishi, but their cars never hold up as well as Toyota or Honda. Same deal with Chrysler. There are some cool cars from Mopar, but if you think Ford is bad...

Haven't had the best luck with my car this year; side-swiped a pole with the front driver's-side door while going like 1-2 mph, but it was enough to cause this loud, metal popping sound inside the door itself. Now tonight I got rear-ended in traffic and that same front driver's-side door will only open like one inch from both sides... Some metal issue. How do you fix that or how much would that cost to fix? I'm scared to find out.

Hi, Scotty. A big fan of yours. My 2011 Nissan Versa S Hatchback has it's driver side door dented in and therefore the door doesn't open from inside or outside, and the window only going down half way because someone hit me while they were existing a parking onto the road where I was a week ago. No one is able to find used or new doors to fix it. Is there any way I can fix it myself. There are no other mechanical issues with the car, drives well. I live in Hawaii. I am no mechanic but I am willing to give it a go.

I have a question. I have this problem on both my rear doors. Except you can open them from the outside, its just that it takes a lot of unnecessary strength. I can easily open it from the inside. Its like the door gets stuck. How can I fix this? Do I need to lubricate something or is something broken?

Scotty Kilmer. I have a 2009 Nissan Rogue that the driver door will not open from the outside or the inside. I see plenty of of videos on how to get the door panel apart etc. but do you have any ideas on how to get the door open in the first place? I can’t get the door panel off until I can open the door, right?

Hey Scotty, my 2001 E46 BMW coupe passenger side door doesn't open when unlocking it with the remote. I have to go inside the car and open in from the inside so the lock releases. Why is that? In this video the car door doesn't open regardless from the outside, but mine does when unlocked.

Fast fix possibly or kicked the issue down the road? 2018 Subaru Crosstrek, couldn't open from inside or outside. Sprayed WD40 in the key hole, inside door latch corner and side metal where it moves/releases to open close the door. Three minutes later, the door opens and closes. Will the WD40 mess up things inside now over time? Did I create a bigger issue down the road?

I have an '03 Lexus ES300 and the shop said $884 a window to fix the back windows not going down anymore. The rear PS door won't open from the outside, just like the car in this video, but I don't want to try to fix it myself. Just want to know if the window issue could have anything at all to do with the door issue and if you think $1800 or so is ridiculous to fix the window issue.

In my case, the front left door would open from outside but not from inside. Everything looked well connected but it wasn't working. I thought about just replacing the latch lock but I read somewhere that the bends in the cable gets flatter after awhile and doesn't work so I just bent the cable a little more and now it works perfectly!

Gotta open up my 95 Merc C220 this weekend. Door only opens 1/3 the way. Enough to get in, and I don't want to fight with the window again so I'm gonna keep it up. Somethings bent in there and I think I know what it is. This video has given me insight on how to unassemble the door. Thanks Scotty. Wish me luck in fixing her!

Krispy Really easy actually. The only thing that sucks is you have to cut the vapor barrier (Didn't reseal it, dumb) and I've had my lock freeze when it's really cold. Had to pop the real door open to lift it up to get in but otherwise no problems.
