you can get the door panels off on this unit without breaking them.you need to unbolt the seat belt on the bottom and slider.pull hard on panel or use a big flat srewdriver by some of retainers to pop them.you then need a helper to pull out on top of door to make clearence to get panel off around top latch.99% of time then i get in back and with someone pulling on the door handle kick the botton of door .this usually lets the door open so use can remove the rusted latch(3 screws,1 connectorand the cable)if its seized the wy i seen it will have to be replaced for its a sealed unit.good luck
