Accessing the inner door 64 Imp Help!

[Don Savard <res03r3f@xxxxxxx>]

Greg,
  I had the same problem on a patrs car I had. The latch mechanism
had seized in place from lack of use and buildup of leaves and dirt in
the latch. Opened the door as follows:
 Laid down in the back seat and with a friend holding the inner
door lever in the open position I applied repeated mechanical agitation
on the inner door near the latch and finally got it open. When I opened
it it took a lot of lubrication to the latch and innards to get the assembly
to work properly.
Good luck and hope this works for you.
Don
