i know my door latch is stuck closed. i tried prying it open from the inside but no luck on the latch.. does anyone know how i can open the door without wrecking my latch and/or door panel??

the only way my dad got his friends saturns door off was by cutting it off. and then we went to the junk yard and got a new door for $20.

***fyi***
got my door open.. on the inside of car by my backseat there was an opening that led to two nuts welded to a plate that held the pins that the latch.. latched to.... after i broke that i took off the nuts and wiggled the door open... then i took off the panel and broke up the latch system to get out the pins and now all i gotta do is go to a junkyard and get a new latching mechanism.. and it'll be back to normal... well back to the way it was...

It would probably be easier to grab a whole door and swap your skin onto it.

probably.. re-adjusting my door is being a pain in the ass... but oh well.. got a new mechanism from a junkyard for $25.00 along with a couple other small pieces i needed anyways... pWn.
