Just for the sake of information, I once had a break in and a new passenger door glass' cost was about $700. So think twice before breaking that window.

yet again, this is what i would have done in his situation, and I also mentioned it might be possible to access the door rods through the interior door panel. I only mentioned glass because i'd rather replace the glass than an original door/ door panel. I'd still do it glass or no glass. bring that car to my shop and i'll do it for free just to prove it. I'll even reconnect your rods to your handles. :thumbup:

I don't know where you get $700. the windshields are 229.95... I've replaced glass in an AMG Mercedes and it wasn't even half that. I just called a place locally and it's 159.99 installed either side but a few days wait cuz they don't have them in stock they even offered me a 5% discount because of the wait. even ebay has the drivers side for 59.95 and the passenger for 75.89. I have plenty of window adhesive and window tint but still would have to wait for shipping but I still don't see the problem here.. :uh:

Here you go, since you're so skeptic.

I would call a lock smith, they have a tool to unlock through the outside window rubber striping, they hook the metal rod that unlocks, 60 bucks...

Thanks for all the suggestions cl, What I end up doing was rolling the window down and remove the rubber trim between the glass and the door. After removing the trim, I could see the bar that attaches to the door handle. I used a coat hanger and pressed down on the bar while opening the interior handle.

Hi,

I have a ES 330 - 2005 - Lots of Miles!!!!: )

Still runs strong, but I have a locked passenger door.

The actuator or locking mech has a rapid "clicking" noise when I try to Unlock the door with the key fob and the unlock on the door itself.

Tries:

#1 - Door is closed and cannot remove paneling??? Don't know how to get to the door's interior parts.

#2 - Can barely see when window is down and trying to pry open the door between window and see what I can see. ( I have not tried to use any coat hanger or jimmy stick)

#3 - I have called 5 locksmiths in my area and nobody can find a way or won't even come out to see if they can open it.

Any suggestions? Any help or additions to what I have tried. Please let me know.

Thanks.
