Thanks for the advice. As I lay in bed last night thinking about taking apart the rear door and trim I thought about your suggestion to make sure the door was unlocked. It occurred to me that I hadn't had the assistance of someone to unlock the door while I put direct pressure on the latch to open the door. Well.......after my wife finally got up we tried that and voila.

Sweet to have outside input
