PrecisionX Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 My 01 passenger rear door will not open. The exterior handle is limp and just kind of floats and while it locks and unlocks remotely the interior won’t open it either. The doors stuck closed and I need to figure out how to get the panel off to see what’s going on hopefully without destroying it. Also a place to find a replacement if need be.

Guest Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 I've always wondered how to do this also. I've tried to open several pathfinders at the JY with no luck . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slartibartfast Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Might be worth trying a locksmith if you get really stuck. I'd probably pull the seat (to give me a little more room to work) and see how much of the door panel I could remove. If the trim around it doesn't overlap it you could probably get some kind of pry bar with a 90° end in there to pop the clips free. If you can get that off, then you have the fun of sticking your arm into the door and fishing around for the latch mechanism. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCJax2018 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Have you been able to get the door panel off or the door open yet? The rear drivers side door on my 96 is stuck closed. Both handles just flop like they are broke inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshrichard Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 The inside panel on the rear door?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrecisionX Posted January 22, 2019 Author Share Posted January 22, 2019 Yes. Interior and exterior will NOT open. They are NOT functional in any way shape or form. The door is a paperweight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshrichard Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 I don’t know if you can get it off with the door closed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
