that doesnt work. im a tech at a chevy dealer. you gotta take apart the door panel inside the car and have the window up so you can open the door with a srewdriver inside the door. its pretty easy if you know basic mechanics.

Smack the outside door panel where the latch is until the door can open with the handle, once its working soak the latch in wd40 to clean it out, then drench it in white lithium grease. You will never have this problem again.

Now, this will only work when it feels like there's no resistance when trying to open the door. What happens is the factory grease is garbage and can get very dirty, so you have to remove it all (with wd40) then apply a GOOD grease (white lithium grease).
