Locked Rear Cargo Door

A couple days ago I loaded my Ex and took off when I went to unload it the drivers side rear door(cargo door) would not open. Has anyone had this happen to them, if so what must be done to get it open?? Thanks, Max

chances are you will need to unscrew the handle and try to find the rod in the door or the door catch and manual open it with a screw driver or some stiff rod

AL^^ has you on the right track. Basically, what happened is the plastic cable anchors broke on the end, and now the cable is flopping around in the door instead of working the latch. You might need to remove the interior panel to get the door open if you can't fish the end of the cable out next to the side-mounted latch. To fix it, you will certainly have to remove the interior door panel.
