Sorry, not Chevelle related but...
Al is at work and the door latch of our Yukon is in the closed position and I can't pry it open to close the door.
The locks seem to work fine but the latch itself is over centered and it just wont open.

ok, is there a trick I can try without tearing the door panel off?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Jeff,

Thanks so much!!! That did the trick. I knew I could count on a Chevelle guy to help with that.

An old fix that works on most vehicles. Glad to hear you got it to work.

I call Jeff about twice a week to get free advice.
even called hm the other day with a Ford question :o

By the way Jeff, my suburban wipers only work when it's NOT raining, think I need a new delay board again? :D
