My issue which I had trouble finding help on was my passenger side rambox would not open. Push the button and nothing, would not open. Key would not help either. It was like there was no linkage engagement. Tapping/pounding on it and nothing would happen.
What I did was used an air bladder like the ones from a door lockout kit. I wedged it in the gap and pumped it up to give myself room to access the emergency pull handle. I used a clothes hanger to pull that handle and pop it open.
I unbolted the plastic cover which allowed access to the linkage/mechanism. The problem was those little plastic rod clips. One was broken and allowed a rod to pop out which disengaged the linkage that moved the cylinder that the button used to unlock it. Local auto parts store had a pack of several of them and i simply replaced the broken one and now works perfect. Hope this helps. See pics.
