Rear Door stuck (99F350)

Both rear doors on the extended cab truck are stuck shut.... any brilliant ideas on how to get them unstuck?

Are they the trick doors or actual doors? My trick doors (98 Ranger) just needed a shoulder bump while holding the lever open and then plenty of WD40 on the lower mechanism.

Where do you live? Could it be cold and something shrinks? Maybe have them bring it into a shop over the weekend where it is warm and things might loosen up?

OK. Sounds like a structural issue of both jam at the same time but how about spontaneous combustion?

I think some plastic part has let go.. I dont go near ditches with this truck. when something weighs near 10000lbs you tend to keep to roads
