So...here it goes. when i bought my civic it was a piece of ricer ****. i mean....totally shaved and kitted all the way around. but since it was SOOO cheap i bought it and began to undo all of it. the door handles were welded and shaved as were the side moldings. i had seen a few civic with the side moldings shaved and thought it looked okay. so i bought some new doors to go on (because i wanted door handles on the outside). my buddy that does welding has been lagging it on the doors so for the time being i've had my heavy *** bondo doors on the car still (which open by poppers...gay).

my window is also off track the arm bent i guess and i didnt wanna pay to fix it since i have the other doors with perfectly good stuff in them. so i think with the window being off track it hit the metal arms that connect the inside door handle to the latch. i went to pop my doors the other day and they wouldnt pop. so i figured god damn ricer **** and opened the back hatch and climed my 350 pound *** through the back to the front and tried to open it from the inside. it wont open from there either.

when i pull the handle there is no resistance at all so i figured the window knicked something on the way up. so my question....how the hell to i get my door open. is it possible to get the door panel off with the door closed? i have Si panels in great shape and dont want to take a chance breaking them.

HELP!!! i need to be able to drive my car... thanks guys

 

bumpage! i need help

 

i say cut the skin of the door.. you got a new one ready to go right?

don;t cut yourself.. make a hole reach in and pull on the rods..

You a saint saving that car for some ricer kid

 

Yeah, cut it where the outside handle should be, so you know you won't hit anything.

 

Yes, you should be able to take off the inner panel with out opening the door.

btw I have an airbag glove box in my 92 hatch works/looks fine, just not as big inside.
