The door handles pull out but they wont open the door. They don't even retract in. Also the rear hatch lock is broken. It pushes in, but I can't turn it with my key. I really don't want to have to break anything to get into it. Is there any alternative. Thanks Tom Greenleaf Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Mar 27, 2008, 11:08 AM Post #2 of 3 (3034 views) Re: broken door handles Sign In What the heck happened!! Without being there I suggest a motor club like AAA even if you are not a member of one now chances are you'll save $$ in less being broken with some help and then get this fixed.........

There is a way to pry back on the top of the doors on certain models (Lightly)(CAREFULLY)...and with a long curved/bent tool can access the lock on the inside of the door and open it....(Don't try this without proper tools/experience) or<< AT YOUR OWN RISK>>> Based on what type of locks there are,diffferent tools are made to gain access. OF course, a Lock Smith is expensive...but ... HEY>>>BTW...How did it get in this condition?....Attempted theft?..Neglect?
