Help my door is stuck!!
 
my 95 240sx driver door is stuck!!! it seems like I can lock and unlock it, but I can't open it, is there a way to take off the door panel without destroying it? I also tried to open the door with a cut clothes hanger but it didn't work. Where can I go to get this fixed!!! I'm tired of getting in and out from the passenger. Help please!!!
Thanks in advance!

I dont know anything about s14 panels but im damn sure they come off lol... For the s13 youd have to unscrew a bolt or two, take out the plastic trims, door handle, and or the handles for manual windows. You have to yank it out though (bottom first). Im sure its similar on S14's.

Get your panel off first then figure out your problem from there. Youre not gonna destroy it. its not that hard.

Search. This common on the S14 chassis, there's been several threads over the past year about the latch sticking.

yea i kinda had to ninja the panel.. either way you will destroy it.. no way around it.. i dont think.. i ended up pulling the plastics by where the door latch is, then pull any screws that are possible to take out w door shut.. then pull slowly..

took it to a shop and they got the panel off, but got charged 100 for it, sucks, but it's better then jumping in from the passenger all the time.

I would just cut a hole on the center of outside door and opened it. Then welded it back, body work and paint with a lambo door kit and done.

But yeah, 100.00 aint so bad.

being a bodyman myself and having to deal with this issue a lot of many cars..... you have two choices when your latch is stuck. destroy your door panel or destroy the outside of your door with a airhammer and a cutting wedge. this sucks man. you might can try if you havnt already, maybe spray some pb blaster in the door jam on the door latch and see if that helps. if not i would take it to a good bodyshop and have it fixed.
