i'm having the same problem, today I pulled on the handle and nothing. I tried the outside and inside handles. no luck, it's stuck closed, I need to get this door open.

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, 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..
