Why is the rear door not opening on my Kia Sportage?
I have a 2013 Sportage LX 2.4L AWD. The driver side rear door will not open. Child proof locks have never been engaged. I loaded some paper work into back seat this morning.

What to do when rear door won’t open?
Try using a can of silicon spray with a small extension tube from the outside and spray near where the latch is at. It might free the binding part up. Follow up here. As you spray gently but firmly push with force against the door panel with slow steady motions (don’t pull on the door handle yet) you might get it free.
