A rear door on my 01 CRV is closed and locked, and will not unlock. Pulling up on the knob will not unlock it, and neither will the remote. I think the outer handle is sort of stuck in the open position, even though the handle is recessed. Any tips on getting the door open so I can replace the latch assembly?
