ok, got the doors open.
Persistance paid off along with some hard jiggles.
It isn't sagging , (saw that thread doing a search
, glad it didn't apply ) but the latch doesn't want to release. It doestn't release freely working it with the door open. I am just going to leave the window open for now. will have to take it back apart and might see about replacing the spring. I had already cleaned both sides with a toothbrush and break cleaner and then ran the passenger side through an ultra sonic cleaner for about a half an hour or better so you would think it would be clean.
I just have a project to work on to figure this out.
Been there with the ultrasonic cleaner . they don't like it much and tend to get stuck after a while. You need to grease them good and maybe replate to prevent corrosion .
I noticed that in my case the door lock was not completely closed so pushing the door close helped release the mechanism and then the door could be opened normally from the external handle.
