My 2010 2SS just had some minor body work done to the drivers door. The shop removed the door and the "guts" to do the work. After completion the door will not open from either the inside or the outside unless the handle is pulled 5 or 6 times. No harnesses were cut all unplugged. Any ideas????

Have them repair the door properly?

Roll down the window since you can't use the door and do a drive-by. All jokes(?) aside have them fix what they bust/ or at least fix incorrectly. // <<STEVE!>> Waddup fool?!

What are you doing here? Get on that phone, call that body shop, and start ripping A$$.

You need to go back to them and have them try to get in the car.

You need to take it back to the shop and have them fix it correctly.
Why would you pay them and accept delivery after the repair, if the door wouldn't open?

The door release is mechanical, so they probably didn't hook up the linkage to the latch correctly.

Just take it back to the body shop and have them fix it.

I'll lay money they didn't clip the green tab securely onto the door panel.

Other than them doing a crappy job, no. I would call them first and post here later, there are lots that could have been done wrong, but all in all probably a relatively easy fix. Good luck.
