Ok so in the process of cutting the doors on my 99 xj into ½ doors a piece of slag fell onto the door on the inside part of the handle/ striker/ lock (im having a brain fat on the name!), and it melted it, and now the rear drivers side door is stuck closed. We have tried all the obvious, locking unlocking, manually opening it, prying up and down on the door etc… Its got to be the mechanics inside the door handle.
Anyone have any ideas on how to get it back open? The top of the door is open so I can get at if from almost every angle if needed. Im really hoping someone comes up with something, because my next solution is the plasma cutter, but even then I don’t know how id cut it without screwing up the door and or the Jeep.
