93 LeSabre ; photo is of passenger side where front door meets back door. Front pass door won't open. Window operates but door won't move. Thoughts/suggestions/solutions (other than cutoff wheel or torch!) welcome.
. . . and: did the exterior door handle get pushed in? It could be a rod binding. I can't tell from the pics.
I agree with rod issues.
Any rate. We can play guessing games all day. Its up to you to get the door open, and from the looks of it, someone has already tried doing that. At this point, I recommend taking it to a body shop where they can open the door and make further recommendations.
Can the front interior door panel be removed with door closed?
If the seat were removed there might be a chance, but most (if not all) of the plastic pins and metal clips will be broken in the process. There is almost zero room between the door panel and the side of the dash.
I agree with the other guys. But IF the B pillar is damaged or even not, you can try to get a reciprocating saw in there and cut the latch mechanism that'* attached to the pillar. Then go to a junkyard and get another one.
If that does not work, go to a body shop and ask nicely how to get it open.
If your B pillar is damaged you are going to have to take it to a body shop any way to have it fixed.
It'* hard for us to help you without good pics.
