My 91 chevy truck is stuck open

Once you remove the door panel, you will see the linkage and rods. The rods are connected with these little "swing away" plastic fasteners. Basically, these fasteners have a hole on one end and a sort of channel which snaps onto the connecting rods. To remove them you just unsnap them from the connecting rods. I'm enclosing 2 pictures of typical awing away connectors. In the pictures, it's the square end which needs to be unsnapped. Hope this helps, if you need any further clarification, just post a comment.

This is common in the Chevy's... The inner rods/clips etc get stretched from use and the handles even break inside the door and you can't tell until you remove the door panel. I know of people who have replaced all four as routine maintenance! good luck
