So I took the rear door cards off and door won't open. Any suggestions on how to get the door open? Thought I would diy it before taking it in next week. 2 kids crawling over the seats to get in and out isn't fun. 6 year old no problem, 13 year old doesn't like it much. Paging @The Car Stereo Company help Noah lol.

Thanks Noah. I didn't get back home until now(almost 11). I know your on the west coast but still didn't want to bug you in the evening. Going to use a flexible camera to take a look at the lock mechanism. It appears to be stuck pretty well. Can't get any movement of the rod that attaches to the lock knob that is visible above the door card. Looking around in the door makes it clear I really need to install some sound deadening. The doors and floor could really use some.

Lab, can you pull the door lock up with needlenose pliers? Thats what I had to do.

Just finished putting my door back together, works perfect! I ended up taking the whole lock out through the outside door handle blew it out with high pressure air and working it up and down real good several times (showing my truck some love).

Finally got the doors open. Still going to dealer as 3 of the doors still stick. Found a rock stuck in lock mechanism on the one I fought yesterday. Not sure how it got there. Little inspection camera let me see it.
