Both of the doors are missing door handles. How do I open the doors from the outside?
Open door without door handles?

Unless you can get ahold of the rod that runs from the handle down to the latch,you'll have to open them from the inside.
Might have to climb thru the hatch. Not something i would recommend on a daily basis.

"Doh, Why do my actions have consequences?"
I've done that three times now. The hatch won't support itself so it takes two people. The inside of this car looks like a haunted house. It is full of spider webs.Originally Posted by cipher

There is a rod to the right of the hole where the handle would be. It looks to have a white plastic piece on the end. Is that the right rod or is it the door lock rod? If I'm able to grab the rod, pull it up or push it down.
Any one want to donate some handles???

You should be able to reach through the hole with a screw driver and push the latch rod down. There's a kink in the rod about the level of the latch hole. You might have to do a little searching, but I just opened mine that way so it can be done!
