Comanche County Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Its bad this time. I shut the driver's side door on the seat belt. Usually its not a problem, a little shove and it opens. This time it seems to be stuck for good. The belt is wedged in the latch mechanism and doesn't want to budge. I know this sounds like a small thing but I wouldn't post such an embarrassing topic unless I was really stumped. Short of pulling the door panel off, which I don't think would help anyway and I can't get it off with the rollbar so close, there's not much I can do. I've pried and pried with a flathead screwdriver.....anyone have any magic ideas? A blown engine is less aggravating than this. Especially when I'm 6'2" and have to crawl out the passenger side.

Pete M Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 have you tried pulling the handle and kicking from the inside? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mongo Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 I had to tackle block mine last time from the inside. Thought I was going to break something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comanche County Posted December 28, 2010 Author Share Posted December 28, 2010 I am going to break something for sure if I put anymore force on it. I'm going to try liberal amounts of liquid wrench, maybe some lubrication will free it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STERLING STINGER Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 what about some c4? :brows: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mythreesons Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Before you go breaking stuff, what about removing the fender and unscrew the hinge bolts? Won't the door just fall off at that point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comanche County Posted December 30, 2010 Author Share Posted December 30, 2010 I finally got it open. The belt was wedged in just right so it wasn't allowing the door to actually unlock even though I could turn the key fully and rotate the lock switch on the inside. After holding extra pressure on the lock switch with my arm through the window and my other hand prying with a screwdriver on the latch from the outside, I finally got it to unlock, then it came right open. Definitely something new. No wonder it wasn't opening with repeated Bobby Hull body checks. Just when I thought I knew everything about my MJ it just had go off and do this. I think it's mad at me for all the highway driving lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirteatr717 Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 This happen to me once because mine doesn't retract to fast... At least your seatbelt wasn't around your body when it got stuck.. Or was it? :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimoshel Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 I once slammed a door without noticing my fly was open. I'll never do that again. :headpop: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
