Why won't my car door open?

Posted at: 2015-01-07 
I put the key in the door and turn it and the lock comes up out the top but the door won't open like the car never unlocked.

Sometimes the seatbelt will get caught in the door and make it really tight. Check for that and just push harder. If not, you'll have to take the interior panel off the door. You'll need to take off the door handle and window winder first.

the metal rod that goes connects to your latch is disconnected. Take off the door panel and reconnect it

the rubber insulation might be stuck to the car body? pull the door harder. The door must not have been opened lately. If the door open, washed the door insulation and door jamb. Also you can wipe a few drops of cooking oil or motor oil on the rubber.

Can you open it from the inside?
