My son's car (1996 Firebird) had a similar problem I thought at first. Once I got inside the door I used the same technique to fix the door. Thank you! Hoping this 17 year old boy will appreciate his mom's efforts and profuse amount of sweating to fix this for him! ha!

01:08 "Just peel it out of the way"

*Proceeds and tears the whole plastic without any chance of restoring it to it's original state. Letting the innards of the door rust and rot. I know this because it has happened to me too.

I love all of your video's Scotty, they are always really informative. I have been working on cars since I was 15 and Im now 30, but you can always learn new things! The one funny thing I have noticed on all repair shows across all of Youtube is, whenever someone is doing a repair video that requires taking off a door panel. Everyone always cuts out the whole awkward getting the panel to stay put while trying to guide it into the upper rail issue haha.

Hello Scotty. I see in this video that you were unable to open the driver's side door from the outside, but you were able to from the inside. What about if you cannot open the door from both outside and inside?

[alakhammash]

from Jordan middle east I would like to thank you so much for your since of humor first and for sharing all that experience with the WORLD . a second to none mechanic

[signalhillscooter]

And that is what comes from all those years of experience! That's what we need to do more of... Actually repair parts if we can instead of just swapping it out. You rock Scotty!

Scotty i loved how you feed the cats at the end. Do you feed em all the time? I also feed about 23 cats at my local church. Its a great blessing to do

When there’s a will there’s always a way. Yup, I got someone to fix it.

[MasterTodd]

Gotta open up my 95 Merc C220 this weekend. Door only opens 1/3 the way. Enough to get in, and I don't want to fight with the window again so I'm gonna keep it up. Somethings bent in there and I think I know what it is. This video has given me insight on how to unassemble the door. Thanks Scotty. Wish me luck in fixing her!

"Just kinda peel it out of the way." *Proceeds to completely rip and destroy protective plastic.*

DOOR STUCK! DOOR STUCK! *OUT OF MY WAY SON*

[goddessofgreen]

Hi Scotty. Love your videos! I came here because I have the opposite problem, my door won't shut. Well, it will shut, but it won't stay shut. Don't know if it's a broken latch or the accentuator needs replacing? 2003 Toyota RAV4. Any vids about this problem? The actual latch is in the open position, door is not out of alignment, so how can one tell if it's the latch or the actuator? Thanks for posting videos that help us everyday people learn how to fix things ourselves (especially us ladies!)

[zhevin]

Don't forget to try using your car key. By introducing the key into the little hole, the components move and activates some sort of mechanism that allows a type of lock that might be keeping you from opening the door to unlock. Hope this helps!

1:56 your "bolt" is actually a "nut"...but don't worry, I won't tell anyone :)
Keep up the great works Scotty!
