Default My Rear Door latch getting jammed?

The latch to open the rear door on my RX is jammed and very hard to open the back. Before I take it in for my 24000 mile checkup, anyone have any ideas to make it not as jammed?

Be careful and do not apply pressure on the flat surface of the rear door around the license plate. Not enough reinforcement there.

Try locking and unlocking, Try squeezing the door shut. Then try opening it with the trunck release. If all fails take it to the dealer.
