Getting the interior panel off w/ the door closed?

[thaharlequin]

My lock is stuck on the DS door, and being the lucky SOB I am, the door is was locked and closed. There's some mention of dealing w/ the problem w/ the door panel off, but since it's locked closed I can't get at the lock. Does anyone know these locks back and forth or know of a way to yank the panel non-destructively w/ the door closed? W/ the window scraper off I can poke at the lock/latch innards w/ something long like an antenna, but that's all I can do w/o knowing exactly how the lock works.

I took my panels down two times. From that experience I must say you won't be able to take it off with out of opening the door

if only there was a way .... if u saw my thread about my wreck, my DS door will never open again - and i dont think its possible to get the panels off without breaking something

if anyone would know a way, it would be ASG14
