I went to close my rear doors yesterday and the lower passanger side door bounced open? It won't latch so I started to pull the door panel cover off to check it out and found the panel really tight I didn't want to force it and break something. So do the panels just pop off?
Has any one here had to repair a door latch yet? I hope I don't have to take it to the dealer. Thanks, Ken

Ken I sent Steve an email with your question,he's removed his rear door panels for the custom subwoofer boxes he installed so he may be able to help.
I'm pretty sure the panels are snapped on with the cheezy white pins but it's good to have someone with firsthand experience' input [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
Are you sure that the latch is not already closed? If it is already in the closed position just pull on the handle and then release the latch with your hand.
Ken,
The rear "tailgate" doors are simple pop offs. You can pry them off with your hands and cross your fingers or you can buy a door removal tool from Sears/Harbor Freight/Northern Tool etc. Good Luck
