upper and lower..usually lower...latch sticks and gets rusted..get in the truck and try to pull the inner door panel loose to get some lubricant in the latch...you might get lucky...

I have the exact same problem. The rear door on the driver side is stuck tight (was hard to open for a while). I tried pushing from the inside after some WD40 and no luck. Where do I go from here ?

I'm also having a problem with the front driver door in that the latch stick in the closed position so the door won't close unless I push the latch up with a screwdriver. WD40 doesn't help here either ? Can I service/replace this latch myself or do I need to go to a dealer ?
