Removal of rear door lift hatch interior plastic panel on a 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan to push out dent in metal door from the inside.

The rear door panel is secured to the door using screws and clips. The screws will be in the handle used to close the door and there may be plastic plugs in the handle hiding the screws. Once these screws are removed, the handle will come off. Look for any more screws along the panel. If there are more, they will be visible. Once the screws are removed, pull on the panel to release the clips that secure it to the door. These clips will require some force to release them and will make a snap/pop sound once released. You may have to put a screwdriver/wedge between the panel and door to start the process of releasing the clips

Cant open rear doors from the inside; cruise control doesnt work

after cking the child lock, try locking and unlocking the manual locks to see if you can hear any movement inside the doors. if all else fails, you have to remove the door panels.. starting from the aft lower corner, (careful not to tear the plastic moisture sheeting, just peel it back), the door panels are normally held in by plastic plugs and screws under the armrest, etc. once inside the door cavity, ck the linkages for wear or any signs of them being disconnected. try all the lock mechanisms again to pinpoint the cause, its good practice to clear all the drain holes at the lower part of the cavity once you're in there.
