Hey all, I don't want to bother anyone. I got wrangled into helping work on my boss's truck. The two rear doors of his crew cab are broken. They won't open from outside, or inside. I already have the door panel off of the passenger side rear door. Is there a way to trip the latch from in the door? Any advice helps. Thanks!

 

 

Soak it like mike said. I would try and spray the latch form the inside of the cab and outside of the cab. Lube it all up. it will clean up. If you have to reach inside the door and try and move it but leverage is not easy and you will be grabbing the rod, that rod does bend and it could be bent now and not be pushing far enough down. you can remove the rod from the handle to and push it. Try and push the door in while work it too. you may be able to get behind the latching post on the frame and turn it with vice grips but that will not be easy if you can get to them. I had to do that to the front door once.

 

I have a stuck door. Going to try my luck with it soon as it gets warm out.
