Back driver door stuck

[razmataz]

I was replacing the door lock actuator which is not a hard job but the door latch keeper that grabs the body on the edge of the door came loose and I reassembled the way I thought it went. A couple springs and a couple spinning shapes. Put back together and closed door. Now
It won’t open. Guess I didn’t put it back together right. Take it to body shop and see what they can do? Thinking I’ll have to dremel saw out

Is there a way to go from underneath fender and somehow disconnect the ubolt or something? Can’t think of a way to do this.

Argh.

Can you pop the interior handle trim and try to grab the cables with some pliers?

Someone literally posted on this last week, you can pull the interior door panel (not easy).

With the door closed, without destroying the interior panel?

Yes, been a few people that have had to do it. Guessing they might break a few clips, but they haven't said.

I hadn’t clipped the door panel in so was able to wiggle it out. Pull on the rod connected to the door handle. Nothing. I think that latch is just stuck. I put springs or those two cams in wrong. Should’ve tested before I closed it!

Talked to body shop guy he said they’ll have to drill it or dremel from inside and I need to get a new latch for him to replace. Hope it works out.
