Panel Door question.

I've always had a little trouble with the rear drivers side door on my '08 Panel. I have to push the button two or three times to get it to pop open. Never had that problem with the passenger side door.

Any adjustment I can make or is it a dealer fix only?

On my '08 Panel If I hit the button Once, it slightly opens, hitting it a Second time seems to Pop them open further. On Both sides.

If your under Warranty still have it looked at, and see what they say.

< Havent Yet, But, Reading the Manual may give the Answer?

The hole might be a little tight not letting the knob pop up. There is a post on here somewhere. Try trimming the hole to make it a little bigger.

Honestly, I thought it might be a Safety Feature.

I don't think the OP is referring to lock knob. Remember, panels have the poppers for the rear doors and I'm sure that is what this thread is about.

Do you get the same result from the key fob button, as well as the dash button ?

If it's just when using the key fob, well you know the rest..

Page 2-6 of the Owner's Manual tell us how to open the Panel's rear door. It is not as simple as just clicking the FOB button.

This fix works by my experiences.
