I can't open sliding side door. It opens 1/4 inch then stops. Not locked. I did have someone take inside panel off to fix a exterior dent 5 days ago. Maybe a screw came loose. How do I access the inside of the door from inside the car since I can't open it to get in on the side?
Thanks

Something could have been dislodged and to access the door without the ability to open it, you would need to force the door panel off after removing screws holding the panel.
