Default Driver door trouble

Hi!
Yesterday I closed my door before retracting by seat belt all the way, the belt got caught in the closing door and now the door refuses to open.
What are my options to get it open?
Thank you and happy holidays!,
Jomo

The Web belt is probably wrapped around the pin in the door frame and latch. You need a extremely large person to pull on the door with both arms and one foot on pass door while pulling. You pull on the inside handle.

Thank you.

Larry,
I was waiting for my BIG friend to come over to try exactly what you suggested, he arrived and it worked!

It is fortunate to have smart friends. But sometimes even more fortunate to have BIG friends.
