Bought my truck 3 weeks ago, with wind damage, had to get a window repaired. Got repaired today while I was at work. Got home and realized the door handle trim looked a little disconnected, and then shut my door with me inside. Went to open the door, door handle moves full range of motion. But door doesn't open. Anyone have this happen to them?

Hi Jackson,

Nope....something amiss with the wndown replacement.... should be a simple fix...

I shouldve mentioned it was installed by a 3rd party. Hoping it's not to difficult for them to go in there and handle it.

The door latch cable is removable from the back side of the handle, and I could see them not getting it clipped in properly, or even breaking the clip. You or they should pull the door panel, it may be as easy as snapping it back together.

Going to take it over in the morning, rather let them do it just incase anything wilds going on in there.
