I need help, Please.

A couple of days ago I was going to do PT (Physical Training) for you non-military folks inside our PT uniform is a little hanging pocket, normally for keys but my REO Mini fit in there just fine, or so I thought. I was around mile 2 in a 5 mile and all of the sudden bam! the mini falls out and my heart skips a beat as it crashes on the pavement, I rush down quickly to give it first aid and see that now the door is jammed and will not slide off.

So that's the back story. I have read a bit online about sending it back for repair but I would like to know what type of money I am looking at spending to get it repaired.

Reoville you have not failed me yet, please don't fail me now! Thanks in advance for any information.

You should send a PM to Rob (redeyedancer). He'll be able to sort it out for you.

Happened to me when one of mine took a tumble out of the jeep. Turns out the bottom corner of the mod bent in a little bit when it landed on the pavement, clamping down on the door. I just stuck my finger in the squonk hole ( !! ) and pulled towards the top. Took a bit of force but it slid out that way. A few slides up and down and it wore the grooves in the door enough to make it accessible again.

It will cost you about $ 12 to have it repaired shipping included . The track that holds the door in place is bent it can be fixed easy enough

If your at all skilled with tools a tiny triangle file can be run up and down the dented side it will remove the anodizing some I have had to do this many times with mine

like this any good hardware store will have them no need for a real expensive one as its just aluminium Lie-Nielsen Toolworks USA | Triangular Files

This might be worth a shot - I've dropped my Grand about a bajillion times, and a few times the door has jammed. I just pressed the door carefully along the edge where it slides, and it popped back into place. Seemed like it got halfway out of the track on one side.
