hey guys i just bought a 4 door 97 civic and one of the back doors wont open from the outside or the inside. Does anyone know how i can get the door open so that i can take the panel off so i can see whats wrong with it or can i take the panel off with the door closed?

 

good luck. its near impossible to get the door panel off w/o opening the door. id say take the handle off and see if you can fix or open it from there.

 

have the same problem
