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.

[@signalhillscooter]

And that is what comes from all those years of experience! That's what we need to do more of... Actually repair parts if we can instead of just swapping it out. You rock Scotty!

[@Sid6902]

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?

[@kreizmann2943]

Tom Dalton how did it go

[@tomdalton7887]

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.

[@kennethdandurand3472]

scottie, you took the easy road. How about a door that doesn't unlock or open from outside AND inside.

[@zhevin1574]

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!

[@jerrywang9421]

I will try my key tomorrow. it's midnight now. Thanks.

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!)

Hi Scotty would you ever consider doing more motorcycle vids? I know a lot of car related issues move over but it would be pretty cool.

[@SinistrariKHS]

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!

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.

[@topgrain]

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.

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

[@Anthony_in_Bloomington_Indiana]

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.

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]

Same here.

[@Rushtallica]

@@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.

***** I don't know what you guys are talking about Nissan and Mitsubishi actually build pretty good cars but Mitsubishis the winner because we beat that thing and it never broke

Hi Scotty ! Recently my Firebird will not hold any freon in my A/C system. The car will only blow Ice cold air when Freon is being put directly into the system, after the can is all out it returns to normal air temperature. I don't have a lot of knowledge on cars but could it be the pipes that carry the freon or could it have something to do with the compressor? Would I need to take it to a shop or is it something I could do out in my garage. Thanks in advance!

[@scottykilmer]

odds are it's leaking too fast, check for a big leak first.

Scotty, my 2014 Nissan Versa SV passenger door just recently won't open from either the inside or outside. Any cheap do-it-yourself suggestions here? Thanks Scotty.

[@CharlesINTEL]

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?

[@tht1nobody27]

@scottykimler I have a door that I can't get open the latch itself won't lift. I was wondering if you would have any idea how I can open it without damaging the outer panel?

[@yonano7473]

My door don’t open at all from inside or out 🤦🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️

[@mariahn.4004]

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.

[@danielberserkerd4839]

hey I followed your Chanel I have one question how you open the door if is the too side closed inside and out side

[@gegoja12567]

Scotty can you do a video on how to replace rear leaf springs on a ford superduty truck?

[@gegoja12567]

Yes I wouldn't ask if I wasn't serious

[@ellen7930]

Would is be a similar fix if it’s the inside handle that won’t open the door but the outside will?

[@austflett8614]

[@austflett8614]

[@Andrea-rg9tr]

Hi Scotty I have a Nissan Sentta 2010 the rear door wont open from the inside but it does open from outside. Any thoughts as to what could be?

[@dvader3000]

I have a kia spectra 2006 that wont open from inside,any special advice scotty?

[@JaneDoe-sk9et]

You might be talking about a child safety feature. There's button on the side of the door that can only be seen if you open the door. Press that button and you will lock/unlock the door.

[@cosmicgaming6991]

Carlos rodriguez I have exact same car and problem, what was your fix?

[@dvader3000]

CosmicGaming Actually it was a cable that was broken. I had to replace it,thats how i got it fixed,the cable and the door handle were both messed up. Hope that answers your question.

[@stephaniejohnson3414]

Hey Scotty! I've got a Chevy Prizm whose front passenger door won't open from the inside or the outside. Any ideas on how to get the inside door panel off if I can't open the door?

[@crazy10seven]

Scotty, I watched all your brake videos, I'm doing the rear brakes on my saab, the rotor is frozen to the hub, north east car, waddaya expect 😸, no amount of heat, penetrant or smacking with a hammer has loosened it, do you have any other ideas? I'm thinking of going at it with a jaw puller or agitate it with an air hammer, I don't want to drive it out using bolts behind the caliper bracket, I'm scared to bend it. Thanks

[@scottykilmer]

an oxygen acetylene torch will always heat it up enough to get it off. red hot metal always comes off

[@SalmanKhan-zh3fe]

Hey Scotty I have a "88" 3 series (e30) and I can't seem to lock the driver side door so is there anything that I might be able to try. -Thanks

[@scottykilmer]

take the inner door panel off and check to see if the door lock rod has come off its plastic retainer clip
