Door stuck
 

The passenger door of my '78 is stuck, what can I do?

First, don't think of it as a stuck door; Think rather it is an opportunity to spend quality time with your car.
After some time alone,there is a knob located near the back of the glass. Pull that up!

I understand what you are getting at, but anger is not the problem.

There are a few things that you can try.First and most obvious as stated above make sure it's unlocked haha,after that has been confirmed,try lifting up while you pull on the outside handle,could be the hinges are sagging a bit and putting pressure down on the striker.Last option i can think of would be to hold the inside handle open and give the door a nice hard kick at the back of the door where the latch is.

Yup, kicking it was My next suggestion.

Thank you!

did you shake it?

Get some help from the outside to hold the handle up while you give it a sharp rap from inside. As mentioned, be sure the lock is unlocked first.

sometimes my ol' blue chevy pickup would do this.

it was like the lock button wouldnt pulll up all the way

i had to push the button outside like i was opening the door, then let my thumb slip off the side so the button pops back out with force, then i could unlock it,

my JEEP CHEROKEE has done the same thing.

i would try that too, pull up on the handle then let it pop back down, try that a few times. maybe from the inside too.

Looks like you solved your door issues on the Jeep!
