Got a quick on the wagon door of my 99 subaru legacy wagon..

The wagon door is simply stuck.. It will lock and unlock. I can put the key in a turn it. The door won't budge. We've sat in the rear and pushed with feet while pulling from outside.

Is this a structural problem? A key problem? Do I take it to a body shop? Dealer?

Any advice would be huge.

Thank you much.

Hi TomJ C-Town,

Problem should be due to the door latch sticking or opener being dislodged.

You would have to remove the panel to look inside the door to see what is wrong.
