i recently purchased a 93 civic with 59k original miles, sweet, i know. anyways, the 2 driver side doors dont want to open. the back one: i took of the door panel and fucked with the rods and it came lose fast. the rod was too lose. both doors didnt open from inside or outside.

long story short, i fixed th back door, but the front, i cant get the door panel off because of the dash blocking one screw. the lock is stuck in the lock position, and ive almost given up. what to do? advice? i already sprayed lube on the hindge.

 

anyone?

 

One of the rods should still be connected to the lock area, all you have to do is pull on one from the inside and it will pop the door open. Actually you will have to move one, then pull on the other one.

We are pretty local to you by the way.

 

actually i figured it out, the locking mech was jammed, i had to take a long screwdriver and manually unlock it, this was a car that sat for years under a tree. ehh, got it now, and replaced the locking mech and the outside handles. thanks for the only response.
