Holy shit thanks man, much help!
will this work for honda civic xl 2000?
I tried this but it didn’t budge. I think it may be loose on the inside.
Any help on this?
Dodge Durango is a better SUV then Ford Exploder.. Everytime I go to the
junk yard there are lots of Exploders.
Thanks man your video was a life saver but couldn’t get to the links you
talked about but ha, yours was the only one to answer my question
this is very insightful I hate to ask but my 97 ford explorer’s rear
drivers side door will not open from the inside or outside i was wondering
if after getting it open like you did in the video is there a way of
hooking the handles back up to whatever came off without taking of the
whole panel? If not is it easy to remove & replace the panels?
How u like those soft leather seat on the Exploder?
Thank you! My passengers were having to reach out the window to open the
door until one of them broke the outer door handle. This is going to be
attempted tomorrow!
This is EXACTLY what I needed.
Thanx, chief!
actually against all odds the door panel is able to come off with the door
stuck shut. my rear driver side door has been stuck and after about 15
minutes of workin with he panel i was able to get it off. first there
should be a corner at the top that is more loose than the other side pull
this away and up to get it slide up out of the groove while pushin in with
your thumbs to curve it out. it wont come over the lock so take a small
crow bar or slide your arm down in there and force the panel off below the
loose corner and eventually you should be able to pull the panel off.
drivers window would be hella hard to do this way. hope this helps.
It Worked!!! A few weeks ago I found myself in the same situation but
didn’t have time then to fix it. Today I found the other 2 videos which
would help IF I could get the door OPEN. Then I saw your video, and it
worked first try!!! Thank you! No more climbing in & out!
Will this work on a 2010 Chevy Malibu or too different?
Thank you sooo much. Ive had this problem for 2 years
Thank you I was about to spend 750$ to have the door removed and replaced.
i just pull the handle an press the unlock button at the same time and it
opens for me
THANK YOU!
someone knows how to open the rear door
dude u save my life ur my hero ……finally i can fix my moms truck lol
Thanks! I used this video to open my 2002 Explorer door.
Thanks a million, you’re amazing. 1 1/2 years and counting I have had no
use of my rear door. Seen all the videos mentioned but your remedy is the
best! Hooray for YouTube! Thanks for sharing!
You are welcome. Glad to be helpful. Thanks for watching. Peace- GrayBeard
not working maybe child lock is on i tried doing this and nothing … what
do you do if child lock is on.? if its not what do you do if this dont work
Hey Rembert, that stumps me. Never had that issue. Sorry, but I’ve got
nothing. Good luck. Thanks for watching. Peace. -GrayBeard
LoL-!st of all, Thanks! 2nd-I’m glad this vid was helpful. As for the rims,
they were 16’s and the factory chrome ones too. Very nice. However this
past April, my Ford decided it had had enough toting around my water tank,
and the tranny went belly up. Luckily there’s a guy locally who loves the
explorers, and bought it for his “collection”. Now I have a nice & shiny
silver TrailBlazer LT. Hope this one lasts 8+ years like the last one.
Thanks again for watchin.- Peace- GrayBeard
Great trick but quick question, will that work if you have the child safety
lock on and the exterior door handle broken? It is my situation right now.
This will help me on my 98 Explorer About 2 weeks ago all the locks in the
truck started to lock/unlock by themselves even with the truck off.The
driver side wouldnt unlock from either side,call it stress/what have you
but i pulled the handle a little to hard only to find out it looked like a
square pack of Duck tape behind the actual handle This was a beater vehicle
a friend sold this to us with our knowledge of its condition its a godsend
to us except for this recent lock situation BTW TY GB
Thanks My wife called me from her work today and told me the outside handle
broke and now when she comes home she has to climb over the seat. I told
her she can drive my truck and i will drive the Ford Explorer. At least now
i know i won’t have to climb over the seat.
Aww i was hoping this could help me but i already knew this. One of the
doors in my car doesnt open from the inside or outside. I think the metal
rods came loose some how and if i pull either handle it moves with no
tension so i know its no connected, i just dont wanna break my door panel
to re connect them lol
I average near, at, or just over 30,000 miles a year, working miles. I
passed 200k a loong time ago. I’m like you. I keep hoping to keep getting a
few more years out of it. I like NOT having a car payment. Call me spoiled.
LoL. Thanks for watching. Thanks for having the video for me, and
apparently others with the same problem. Peace, and Happy New Year.-

Your welcome! Thanks for watching. Peace.- GrayBeard
Sad to hear so many folks dealing with what’s obviously a defect with the
Explorer. Glad my video helped. Thanks for watching. Peace.- GrayBeard
weeks later and door still won’t open. husband tried to get door handle
off–it’s passenger side, btw–so it’s him climbing over MY seat and
screwing stuff all up. anyway, i know you don’t own the veh anymore, but if
both doors are the same, um, hubby couldn’t get past the rainguard. so, how
do you get the handle off??? (and he’s a mechanic…)
Genius! Thanks!
i love you!!! (don’t worry–i’m a girl). looks like your ’98 is just like
my ’99–sport with leather seats and power sunroof. do you have the 16 inch
wheels or the boring (but cheaper) 15s??? just curious. and, yea, it seems
like there is something in the way–like i said, the handles don’t flop,
but i just can’t get the lock to pop… with or without key, so, the
actuator is probably still fine…
Thanks dude.
Nevermind, totally got it. You are the man!
GrayBeard…YOU ARE AWESOME. Thanks so much for caring about others in
need. I was having to do the same thing as you…going in from the
passenger side to get in my car…real cool…least to say ‘lady like’. My
husband had been struggling to try to figure out how to get the driver’s
side door open. I said…well I am going on utube and ! ‘YOU ARE THE MAN’
and saved the night. We did exactly that and ‘Walla’ my door is open and
now he can fix the problem. God Bless You! Thank you again.
How did you get it to get out of half locking? We basically have the same
exact car minus the moon roof.
Unfortunate. Sometimes, we just got to bite the bullet, and drag the wallet
out. Sounds like it’s time to take that issue to a professional. However,
maybe search “door handle broke (make model) child locks on”. Good luck.
Peace- GrayBeard
I normally dont leave comments to videos but i just have to tell you Thank
you Thank you Thank you…this video was %150 so helpful. My doors been
broke for 5 years and kudos to you for making this video.
My Explorer door won’t close. It’s stuck open. Can someone link me to a
video that explains how to get it unstuck? Thanks
