Aunt rolled her runner and now the doors won't open

[541joseph]

Ok so my aunt rolled her beloved runner in perfect shape and all the body lines are still perfect but none of the doors will open. It's almost as if the doors are half locked. Anyone else have this happen?

Even if the body lines look perfect, it cannot guarantee that they are within normal spec. They most likely have shifted enough to jam it in the door frame.

good luck getting them closed if you open it. you probably twisted the body just a touch and its pinching the lock mechanism.

With the door handle pulled, push the door in, up, down, to the left and or right, move it around and see if it will pop free.

Just weld them shut and tell your aunt she has to jump in through the window like Bo and Luke Duke.

Pull inner fender liners reach in and unbolt door hinge from door post u may get latch to release

She slid on the ice hit snow and it just fell on its side. The doors were just frozen shut last night when the sun came out they opened no problem cleaned out the intake and hoses pulled the plugs spun it over put the plugs back and it fired up no problem it's going to the body shop tomorrow to get checked out

That was easy then. You got lucky there. What is the worst of the damage?

Front fender and rear quarter panel. Fender is toast and quarter panel needs to have the window removed and Pop and shape it back together and the mirror is crushed but all the glass is intact and fine

That's funny, now glad she is OK but she's gotta Slow down. :doh:

The panel gap between the door and fender looks like if is off towards the bottom, but it could just be the pic. Fender should be easy to replace. The b!tch might be that quarter panel since it is welded.
