Hi there,

Either you will have to remove the door trim to access the lock, this may not be an option as with the door closed you may end up damaging it, otherwise you will have to remove the window sill trim and trigger the lock with a long lever, get a mechanic to do this as it is very tricky, they may have to remove the other doors trim to work out the best way to access it.
