I love all of your video's Scotty, they are always really informative. I have been working on cars since I was 15 and Im now 30, but you can always learn new things! 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.

Feeding the cats creates more cat suffering, sadly (once they now have successful babies more easily, and populate more). So it's a situation that is difficult for the individual. Also other wildlife gets exceptionally rekt by cats, but anyhoo.

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!

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?

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 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.

pay a locksmith to open it or cut the inner door panel so you can get to the latch and manually open it

This is old, but what a genius rig up to get that latch working. The customer would have had to scrounge around for a salvage part (and may end up doing that anyway eventually) but not yet. Not yet.

This is great but!…. My door won’t open so how do you get the panel off with the door closed? Or do you pull off enough so you can access the locking mechanism. Is it possible that the door actuator is failed in the lock position?

***** Exactly. Refinement is a nice thing. My cousin has a 2001 Integra Type R which is a zippy little car. He added Dynamat to the doors, trunk and beneath the rear seat.. 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.

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.

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...

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!

This problem is extremely common on the Nissans made from 96-2002. Even my Pathfinder (98) has it. My Left side passenger door won't open from the inside or out. 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. If I can't find the part at the dealer maybe I'll try to rig something up like this!

One more reason to love my grand am. Sure, adjusting the screw is annoying because I'm probably doing it wrong, but at least I have the option. Now I just have to find the happy middle between the door not closing and the door not opening with either handle when the inside was working fine before (lucky I didn't put the snaps in and the bolts are all accessible without removing the seat.
Door won’t open - from inside or outside!
