yesterday it got down to 3 degrees, i had washed my car earlier that day. this morning i was in my car, and the door handle would not work, it wouldent open to let me out, so i had to roll down the window to get out. ever since the door wont open from the inside. can someone tell me what maybe came undone, and if it is hard to get the door panel off?

The panels come off really easy. You gotta take out the screw that holds the cover over the inside door handle(the one to let you out). Then the bolts that hold armrest on and there might be a screw by speaker cover. Check for any other screws. Then just pull alongs the edges on sides and bottom to free the plastic clip screw. Watch out these clips can go in and out and secure again but sometimes you need to replace. I got em at ford for 2$,you could find cheaper though.

Oh yea about your handle, the rod connedting to may of came off or loose or your handle may be worn out. On my 88GT lots of passengers can never get out, but I have no problem. My trick is that I pull the handle lever to a full extension, but right as It is fully extended out I give sort of a "quick" pull as if I was extending it past full extension.

ok ill give it a try, i think something just came off, or is really stiff and needs some wd-40 or something.
