Default '74 Grand Am {not my car}

Wondering if anyone knows of a good way of getting frozen door latch's on this car opened up? They are both froze up and don't want to ruin the door panels to get to them, not sure how else to be able to spray them with anything to free them up?

Thanks Lyn.

Roll the window up about half way so you can pry open the door panel a bit & spray PB-40 down into the latch & let it sit for a while but use a lot of the PB-40. If that doesn't work then you'll have to tyr to remove the door panel without damage. It can be done but you have to take it slow & easy.

I went through this with my 68 Wagon. Just keep spraying. It took a week for all of my doors to free up.
