rear left door won't open from inside.

Not the child safety lock by any chance???

"the child safety lock is disengaged so that is not the problem."

I was afraid that is what i'll have to do. I guess some weekend, their is going to be a trip to the liquor store (LOL) and then crack one open take a drink, and start taking these 2 doors apart.

thks!! And no it's not the child safety lock. LOL

You said it doesn't work from the inside. Does it work from the outside? If so, get on the inside and have someone open and close, and open and close the door from the outside and see what happens compared to when you open the door from the inside. Just a thought.

Been there done that. Can't see!! Pretty cramped in there.
