Okay, since you had the door panel off anyway, it will have to be removed.
It will be difficult with the door closed. You will need to remove the back seat and try removing the panel to look inside and see if the rods are moving enough to open the door.
The seat will come up by pushing back on the front of the seat and lifting up at the same time.
