The one funny thing I have noticed on all repair shows across all of KZbin is, whenever someone is doing a repair video that requires taking off a door panel. Everyone always cuts out the whole awkward getting the panel to stay put while trying to guide it into the upper rail issue haha.

Don't forget to try using your car key. By introducing the key into the little hole, the components move and activates some sort of mechanism that allows a type of lock that might be keeping you from opening the door to unlock. Hope this helps!

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.

Hi Scotty. Love your videos! I came here because I have the opposite problem, my door won't shut. Well, it will shut, but it won't stay shut. Don't know if it's a broken latch or the accentuator needs replacing? 2003 Toyota RAV4. Any vids about this problem? The actual latch is in the open position, door is not out of alignment, so how can one tell if it's the latch or the actuator? Thanks for posting videos that help us everyday people learn how to fix things ourselves (especially us ladies!)

Your first video I don't like much, I don't like the way you tear the nylon dust cover behind the trim , and obviously this is an already opened door. Title says fix a door that won't open. 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?

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 have one for you. A 2002 Ford Explorer with the rear driver's side door stuck shut. Won't open from inside or outside. Window won't roll down. Constantly trying to lock/unlock and the alarm goes on when set. I have the internal door latch off and it seems to work. But, it's got a cable instead of a rod to pull/push to open. On other vehicles, I've just grabbed the rod and move it to open the door. Now, I'm stuck. I'm thinking I have to pry the door open since the screws are covered by the door frame. BTW, I like your videos. You've saved me a lot of work!

When Summer comes and it's not too chilly outside I'll try to fix it. I know plenty of other people with a Nissan in this year that has the problem. No, the child locks aren't on either.

Quieted the car down and yes, it did add some weight but the stiffer springs he has on along with sticky 140 treadwear tires can handle that.

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?

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...

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.

I have a 1998 model car of a different brand and the plastic behind the door panel is supposed to be there intact and air tight so that the airbag sensor in the door works properly. Apparently it reacts to air pressure. That's what the original factory service manual says. So I wouldn't just assume it's only water protection and I certainly wouldn't destroy it.

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.

spray lysol in the intake under the windshield with the heat on full blast with outside air. As for the door, odds are your door latch is breaking down, but see if the hinges are bent and that makes the whole door sit low and do that too. New hinges fix that
