Maybe try pushing the door in while pulling the handle to relieve the pressure on the latch? My guess is this won't help, but worth a try.

Hmmmm....if I were closer I would run over with my lockout kit and see what I could do. With some of the tools in the kit a guy might be able to feel if there is a loose rod in there or possibly snag the rod to open it. Can you run the window down? If you can you might be able to pull the weatherstripping out next to the window and take a flashlight and see a little down in there to see if you can see whats moving or not?Jim's idea would be worth a shot too. Put your shoulder into it! Haha

I will give that a shot too Jim. Not sure that I tried that.

The window works. I will have to see if that will work. Good ideas guys.

Jay, I've had it happen on Saturn's before and it is either the latch, or the clip holding a rod on broke usually. You either need to work through the window like suggested and pop it open, or pull the seat, then the panel to get to it. It's a pain...

Good morning fellas!

Another day, another dollar! Summer coming yet or not? I'm ready to camp and fish!

We had a bunch of slim Jims Jay but I believe we tossed them as we rarely used them. I'll look and see if we still have them. If so I could run down and try to pop it open for ya.

Good morning Jay! Hopefully you get it open tonight.

Have you tried banging your head against the door? If not give that a shot!

Grinder with an 1/8" thick disk, cut a access hatch in the door skin.

Or paint a confederate flag on the roof and 01 on the doors and just climb through the window. Yeeeehaaaaaw

I wouldn't want to dent the plastic door Troy. LOL

Somehow I think the wife would frown on all those options Jim. She has no sense of adventure.

You would be able to find it in a parking lot easier
