I need to get it open to access the driver side turn signal however the latch will not open. Is there a way to get the doors open while it’s closed or am I screwed? I’ve tried to look around for info, but no one seems to have info on the double door only the hatch and two half doors for this van
If its the barn doors you are talking about…do the following:From inside the vehicule,pry the barn door covers(held by push clips) until they are both out. You can use a flat crowbar or a large screwdriver for this. The latch mechanism will be exposed after removal of the covers. Spray aerosol lubricant on the actuator rod pivots and lock mechanism. Hold the actuator rod with a pair of long nose plyer and try to unseize it. Replace panels.
I use to own a 1998 Chevy Astro.
Thank you I’ll give it a try this weekend.
Try this fix instead: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JEPweYrPQE
Remove the interior door panel from the right side door and inspect the linkage, you may find one of the rods disconnected due to broken rod clips.
