Interesting door problem.
Hello! I have a 1998 Chevrolet Silverado z71 5.7l V8
When I bought the truck, the passenger side door did not open from the outside because of what seems to be a disconnection in the latch. I meant to get around to fixing it but before I could, of course the inside handle was broken off by
One of my friends being overly rough with it. Now my passenger door doesn't open on either side. I can get the door open if I can get the door panel off but that proves to be difficult with the door closed. Does anyone have any suggestions to how I could get the door open?

roll the window up. it the outer or inner window seal can be lifted up, remove them. if not go to next step.
insert wedges between the glass and door frame to allow access to the linkage below. use a hook tool or slim jim to move the linkage to open the door.
