Angry Defiant rear ext cab door!!

People, my lil rear door on left side refuses to cooperate. Top latch will release but the bottom one thinks otherwise. Tried prying to no avail. Any suggestions gentlemen? Any advice is appreciated.

Default Re: Defiant rear ext cab door!!

It's most likely that the bottom latch has rusted out, just happened to mine this year. Get someone to push from the inside while someone pulls from the outside and it should finally pop open. Then buy yourself two new latches and replace them in both rear doors.
