    Hi guys! I I have been riding with my boyfriend for about a month now and while I was trying to get into the passenger side of the truck he was trying to unlock it from the inside at the same time. Now, we can’t get the door open. LOL. There’s GOT to be an easy fix for this!!? Any help would be appreciated. I feel like an idiot!

    Probably going to need a slim Jim to get the door unlocked. They usually sell them at some of the Truckstops, in the cheap tools bin. Shop probably has one. Sometimes a wire coat hanger, with a small hook formed on the end works. I think you guys just bent the rod that goes onto the latch, or broke the plastic clip that holds it in place. If it’s still hooked up, and just jammed or bent, might be able to get it, using the key, while pounding on the door right above the handle. Once it’s unlocked, will need to remove door panel, to fix it. Meanwhile you’re going to have to use his door. It’s not so bad. My wife did it for a year. Lol. Finally fixed it, now she’s got her own door. Living Large Now. Lol. Good Luck.

    These have been notorious for rods coming off inside the door.
