By the way I remember how the shade comes off on the rear doors. Looking at shade while facing back of car on top there is a gap where the shade meets the window trim. Get a small screwdriver in there and lift up on the metal tab. Metal tab is part of door, and it has to lift out of the pocket in the plastic shade. Then remove the bottom shade braket screw and remove panel with 3 t25 screws. One under wood trim. One under wood trim by the inner door handle, and one by the map pocket on bottom.

Yea then came the airbag and the vapor barier. Pain in the ass when outside and not in garage. Then I wd40 the hell out of it. Yea i know wd40 is not a good lubricant, but all I got here. Will grease the crap out of it when I get back to garage.

I knew it can't be carrier because both out and in took a crap at same time. I knew it wasn't cables because same reason. Then i remembered the door carrier thread and how he pushed down on that latch tab with the close hanger. Well i figure that must have jammed.

Bought a cheap ass Torx set and panel pry set at harbor freight. My friend doesnt have crap as far as auto tools.

Free fix. Well, less than $20. Would have been free if I was home. Thank you all for replying on the weekend. Appreciate it.

Glad you got it fixed, don't you know you can't trust these things on the road, especially with the wife and kids....lol!!!
