Ok. It rained Sunday and Monday. The temps dropped to "well below freezing" near the middle of the week. My car was parked at work all week. (I drive the company Jeep home, during the week.) I went to get into it, last night (Thurs) and the door locks don't work. The key turned, but the linkage in the door didn't move. I kept trying, because it seemed like if I get it past the "bind", it would unlock. It didn't. I felt what seemed like the linkage popping off, inside the door. Now that it's warmed up, the lock still doesn't work. The door handle inside feels "jammed", too. Moving either door handle (inside or out) "wiggles" the little pull, as does turning the key and hitting "unlock" with the remote. It just doesn't unlock the door.
Ok. That bit of wordy business aside, my problem is "How do I get the door panel off to get inside and mess with the linkages, when the door WON'T OPEN?"
Yes, the "Jaws of Life" is out of the question.
