Rear door catches on a bracket and will not open
Sound like the link for the handle is broken.
you should have a pull handle near the floor at the driver seat.
if you can open the door with the pull handle. then the link to the latch is broken.
what you need to do is open the rear internal panel to get access to the latch.

put some force at the rear of the slider, try to push the door closer to the catch. the door may be not square to the catch, then try to open it.
make sure the top and the button both are square to the rail and the body planel.
There shouldn't have any spring in the door lock area. see if you can take it out.
As far as I know there are spring in the catch area, unles the catch is broken and the pring jus pop out. In that case. you have to change the catch. (non-repairable)
