Default Stuck Drivers Door

Forum: Trying to get the 74 drivers side door open. Stuck tight.
The exterior latch seems to be disconnected? The inside Mech seems OK. Can't get the door to open.
Any suggestions?

TIA

This just happened to a new owner at our weekly Corvette gathering... Everyone had a idea / suggestion.. Tools came out.. Nothing.... He drove it home... Door worked fine !!! Something must be out of alignment just enough to prevent the door from working....

Raising the rear end to do something else, allowed the door to open!
When in doubt, jack it up.

I believe this is indicative of a birdcage or frame issue....
