Your going to either going to have to get the door panel off and open it manually or slim jim it(if that works) to get the door open. Then figure out what the problem is. The door panel might break a little since the door is closed.

There are two screws in the arm rest. A screw behind a little cover by the door handle, then you have to take the bezel off. Then just have to pop it off. If you need pictures of how to do it just give me your e-mail.

I know about the screws in the arm rest, but I didn't know you could take the panel off by just taking them out. My email address is tiffany. Sigala@phoenix. Gov. Please send me that picture.

I can't open the door. I know how to get the panel off with the door open. I need the panel off with the door closed. Then I need to figure out how to open the door.
