I had a spare clip in the car, because the last time it broke I bought one...went out to lunch with a co worker and guess what...came out again...

so this is the 3rd time mine has broken...first time took me an hour to fix, 2nd time 30 minutes, today during lunch fixed it in 15 minutes....coworkers standing around like...what are you doing??? haha

OUCH, if you cant get it open from inside or out that's a big big problem... only way i see is to rip off the door panel and look inside the door and get it open.. then repair both.

I am having the same problem. I can not open my door from the inside or out. The doors lock and unlock with my alarm. Should I call a locksmith? Thanks

its wierd i can hear the linkage moving and my power lock still works, but it wont open from either side! any ideas would be appreciated.... i thought about hacking my door panel but id rather not, thats my last option.

My door won't open at all anymore. Would this fix help at all? Or will not being able to open it give me a hard time working on it?

Edit: Haha I shoulda looked at the last page before posting.

Usually if you can't open from either side you got to cut through your door panel with an air saw. ( I know ouch).. But before you resort to that try messing around with your window (raising and lowering), while trying to open the door. That's what I did and I managed to open the door from the inside. Then I kept it open and replaced the clip. Hopefully that'll work out for you, if not I'm sorry. Good luck

maybe a master with a slim jim.. get a flexible scope and look inside the door but cutting the panel is the only way to actually do it ... so it sucks but hey do a black interior at the same time LOL

...gay i really dont wanna hack my door panel but, its lookin grim for me . i would love to do a black interior swap to much dam money though lol

Great info and can't wait to use the advice.... but what do you do if you encounter the problem while the windows and roof are closed.... not to mention the only functional (?) handle is the interior driver handle????--It's 94 SC300.

Any feasible suggestions aside from replacing glass or body repair?

Thanks.

starvingle

what if you realize the prblm after the doors are closed and all of the glass is sealed and the only working handle is the interior driver side?

MexicanSC

......hmmmmmm that sucks lol i dunno there. im still tryin to get my passenger door open without hacking my panel!
