SOURCE: How do I remove the driver door panel on a 2002 Malibu?
The door panel is held on with small plastic fasteners. Go to your local auto parts store and look in the auto body section for a trim removal tool.
If you do not want to buy the tool, you can use a flat tool of some sort.
Without the tool, you will need to buy plastic fasteners to replace the ones you ruin. (you'll need a flat prying tool at least 8 inches long and 2 inches wide)
Insert your flat prying tool in between the door panel and the door frame. Carefully work your way around the door, slowly popping the panel loose. Once you have the biggest part loose, you will have to pull up on the top and remove the rubber stripping between the window and door frame. Avoid at all cost ripping the plastic fasteners out of the door panel. You want to pull them loose from the door frame. More than likely, you will ruin several of the plastic fasteners. As I mentioned before, you can buy these at the auto parts store. I suggest taking a few with you so you can match them up with the new ones.
SOURCE: How do I open the rigt rear door of a Chev Malibu tht has unhooked the latch rod?
I think pulling the door from the car is way to much and still not going to pull away from latch.
I would try removing the pannel from door, if you need room the remove the bottom cushing from the rear seat. Should have 2 bolts holding them down. You will need a 12 or 14 millimeter socket with and extention to get them out.
With that out of the way you should have planty room the remove pannel. I think it may only have 2 screws by the big handle and one on the latch. After them removed with a 7millimeter socket the rest are just clips and you must wedge them our with a special tool they make for that or a flat head screw driver will work too. Pry them apart from the bottom up until you get to the window then pull the pannel up and unhook. Notice that you will hat to disconnect the electric window by the plugs, be careful with the little clips that hold them toghter, take your time as they brake easy. With that out of the way, peal back the plastic sheel but try to not rip ut so you can put it back. Then you will have all the access to the rod area. This cars are being built so it brakes after 7-8 years. I had to do my Chevy truck rear door about 2 weeks ago.
Also if you dont want to mess with taking the sear out, call an stablished locksmith or tow company, they can use a lim jim tool to open the door. A snapon tool truck carry lockout kits that will have exact directions on how to open every door on any car to the day. I have one of them kits but it runs about $200 for it.
Good luck with that and may the force be with you.
