Got locked out car. Used a slim jim incorrectly and, though I got in (through another way), messed off my front passenger side door assembly. Now it wont respond to either door handles. Its stuck closed so I can't pull the panel off. But if I can get it open I can go from there.

You can try hooking the inner portion of the latch with the slim jim.
