Default Right door locked ???
I have a friend that has a '77 Vette. The right door we cannot seem to open. The inside door handle appears to be working, but the door will not open. The outside door handle does not seem to be moving any linkage. I wanted to see if anybody has any suggestion on how to open this door.

Thanks,
JTHVETTE

A long slim rod or screwdriver and push down on a little tab on inside area of the latch will release it. BTW hows old Jimmy?

Sounds like the door is locked. Roll down the window and soak the linkage and mechanism with WD-40, or something similar.
