Door won't open from inside or out
«

August 13, 2010, 06:27:37 PM »
I was replacing my front speakers and broke the little green plastic on the cable that connects the interior door handle to open the door now so I got a replacement and was gonna fix it but I took off the door panel to adjust something and fiddled with the cable a bit. Now neither of the door handles work...
My question is how do I open the door or get the door panel off with the door being closed

you have to get it off with the door shut someone had this problem on here recently. I can't remember who it was though.

You're gonna have to get a hammer and a torch.

For what it's worth, I broke the green thingies on my door handle cables as well, but they still seem to operate as long as I make sure the cable goes back where it normally is as I'm putting the door panel back up. I need to take my PS door panel back off though and do something with the broken part, because it's just sliding up and down the cable making all kinds of rattling noises.

Was it Clapton that had the issue? When he had his window replaced?

Two things... cutting door panel down the middle lines.... or taking the outside door handle out...
Is the latter possible at all?

Not without taking the door panel off first.

This is a quote from that thread. I told you it was possible.

Update - Called the glass company...they sent some one out this morning. The guy was able to get the door panel off without opening the door. Somehow a piece of broken glass got into the latching mechanism. Crazy luck....then again the guy before him didn't do a fantastic job of vacuuming out the broken glass.

You may need to employ the help of a professional for this on. Now that this has come up twice with other members, I kinda want to try it myself just to see how hard it is.
