[QUOTE="Stoopid Jeep, post: 437997, member: 20049"] Solved, kind of. The little hook that retracts when you lock the door, is badly worn and wasn't quite triggering the mechanism to release the latches. I had to remove the inner panel and unscrew the latch cover. Since I wasn't able to get to the Allen screws on the edge of the door, I had to bend the cover to access the mechanism. After I had access to the mechanism, I jammed a screwdriver in there and got the lock to pop. I'm going to put the half doors back on and worry about it next winter.[ATTACH type="full" width="222px" alt="20230423_181634.jpg"]121266[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" width="271px" alt="20230423_183613.jpg"]121267[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
