69 Charger passenger door will not open from inside or out. Any tips? Thanks Jay

If you feel resistance when you pull the latch or the handle, the mechansim may be working while the door has a wedge fit to the latch. This may be a matter of having someone inside the car pushing while you are outside pulling. The latch and striker in the door jamb need light lubrication for everything to work smoothly. If the latch and handle feel loose with little or no resistance, then the internal activator rods have probably fallen out of position. I can't recall if they used plastic retainers, but if so, they will get brittle and crack apart. In this case, you'd need to remove the door panel and dig inside. That may require removal of the right seat! Good luck, Greg
