Door panel removal.....
nah, it's like 50+ out today, I got the door panel open kinda. I have it halfway pried enough to get my hands inside the door. , but I'm having a problem figuring out the locking mechanism. I think it's shielded.. So I don't know how to actually get it to open..
well, i got the dremel out with a cutting blade. looks like i'll be cutting the lock from the inside. wish me luck. gah. hoperfully another latch isn't too expensive. if anyone knows where i can get one cheap.. lemme know.
Well, good news, I got the dremel in there, cut around the plastic shroud and found a lever in the mechanism I could pull up on the latch itself. door opened!. now I can take the latch off the door and replace it.. just saved myself 400$ from the dealer
No damage to the door at all, plastics all ok.
Now just have to put the door back together and all is good..
