BOTH doors on 95 sc400 broken... please help!!!
Hello everyone.. I am new to the forums and i have done my fair share of research on what could possibly be wrong.. the lock mechanism works[ car locks and unlocks fine with key] but when I go to grab the door handle, the door handle doesnt unhook the door latch. My passenger door's clip broke from the original owner and now i feel as if the same has happened to the driver side. I know for a fact it opens from the inside but i am locked out I have a auto locksmith coming monday but any ideas on to open the inside car door handle from outside without breaking any windows?.
Please help!! this is my only car i need to fix this asap.
Thank you in advance

So your outside door handle does not open your door? It could be this issue, read this thread

O ok so you know what the problem is hmmm. I dunno it sounds like you might have to bite the bullet and break a window I dont see how a lock smith is going to get it open unless hes real good the the jimmy bar.

Know a good car thief, He'll get it open with coat hanger. If you can get a wire thru the seal at the top of the window, you may be able to get ahold of the inside handle & pull it. People on here have even gone as far as suggesting to cut open the door on the outside. To bad these cars don't have a fold down rear seat or you could go thru the trunk.

Ya it's a real PITA when that happens, I bought 2 boxes of those clips online from a fastener place as there's right & left clips, quite the common problem. I feel for ya & good luck.
