The passenger door to my '71 is stuck closed.  The outside handle doesn't work and the interior handle is broken.  Even with the handle I couldn't get the door open.  Any suggestions on getting the door open?  Thanks.

Vette(s): 1975 C3 Red, T-Tops, Black Interior. All I need is time and money! Getting there!

I have gotten the door panel off with the door shut.  First, you take out the seat.  NOT EASY with the door shut! But it can be done.

You may cause minor (or More) damage to the door panel.  I have only sustained minor damage at some mounting points, and could repair that with no cosmetic problems.  But it a rear PITA!

If you can get the door open first with slim jims etc, it's much easier.
