[fctrent]

1995.5 rodeo---rear passanger door wont open--inside or outside
can the handle be accessed when door is closed?
a clip or bar must have fallen off or loose--can it be reattached
is there a quick fix or dealer service item?

Suggestion is to buy another rear door panel(the plastic), then cut or pry yorus open.. unless someone else has an idea of how to get inside the door.

Does it have the seperated window? I am having some occasional trouble with mine as well, but it maybe different. Mine has to do with the window release mechanism. It is like it doesn't know that the window is up so it won't let you open the door portion. If I press the button that releases the window a few times then the door will finally open. Don't know if this is similar to yours or not, but it is something that I have observed.
