Want any ideas to free up the doors on my chevy. I dont want to dissasemble right away due to the location of the car. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
A little more info may help, shaved handles? Unable to open from inside, outside, both? What happens when you try to open them, other then not opening (handle moves freely as if the linkage is not connected)?
rear handles shaved. P***enger door will not open from either side. Car has sat for awhile. Hopefully just a little persuasion will do. Tried pushing from inside while somebody pulled from the outside. No luck. Ready to get the saw zaw out!!!
You did say you were inside,so mostlikely going need to pull the door panle off to "BP Blaster" or WD40 the parts,then try after being sure links are in place from handle ect.
Door unlocked,the SOB wont budge.!!!! Drivers side door works fine. Feels like the linkage is in tact.
Sawzall!!, I'm glad your'e not my dentist, how about a bit of finesse, it's cheaper, try gently pushing on the door and work the mechanisms, take the little tube and guess where the pin is and give it a few shots of WD or something, see if you can carefully move the door cover open to check the mechanisms and maybe give them a shot of lube. Shoot some lube down the window seal at the mechanisms, be patient. It may be locked, see if you can access the mechanism, look in there with a scope and see if you can trip it.
The latch is out of adjustment. Try the oppiset. push in from the outside and try either inside or outside handle. How does the door lock? Is there a ****on that moves up and down? or does the inside handle move forward to lock the door. What make of car and what year?
Shes not letting go of the pins, she may be out of alignment or maybe the mechanism is not unlocking the latch pin. Try to very gently lift to door, sometimes they sag and put weight on the mechanism and they will not pop open.
i took a nice truck home in salt and washed it all up and put it away, come spring door stuck majorly tried everything soaked hinge with penetrating oil and tried everything to get it loose, more penetrating oil and finally car show was looming quickly , and grabed door and pulled and door come loose before hinges bent, just barely
