I just slipped a sawzall underneath the door and hacked away. The sheet metal behind it folds up so you have to be careful not to jam the tip of the blade into that. After I did that my door still wouldn't open up, so I had to lay on my back and give it a few both-feet kicks from the inside...
Thank you for the part number. I was trying to avoid the junkyard but once I looked at the price of buying a new one I'm thinking twice. I can't believe nobody makes a reproduction, $70 is ridiculous for that. I'm worried all the junkyard trucks around here are going to be too rusted. I know...
Hello everyone, I am in the (slow) process of building an offroad 5.0 Ranger. I have had the truck several years now and the driver's side rear suicide door has never opened. I have tried several times over the years to open it up but never was successful. I have opened the door up many times...

Proud owner of a 99 XLT supercab, V6 3.0L.
