Umm but i could rip door off tho using the frontera,but thats going to be messy 

[05omegav6]

There is a way, but, in no particular order...

1. I cannot guarantee it will work.
2. you may still need to break summat.
3. Reluctant to share as it exposes a gaping vulnerability in the design.

 

If you double lock the car, then unlock it with the key does the pin move, or is the lock stiff
If the lock is stiff, use more force on the key, ie turn it until it stops, then turn it some more...

  Yes if I use the key the door pin still moves up and down but still not release the door lock .

To remove the door card violently,  close the window, open the cubby hole, remove the trim by the latch and remove the screw behind it. Then remove the window switch, the triangular plate at the front of the window, the tweeter cover and interior relase handle trim, including any screws you find there, (two Iiirc)and the lock pin, (this is removed by carefully prizing out the red tab, then lifting the pin out).
Next pry the door card away from the bottom edge of the window, this will break the plastic clamping strip.
Make sure the seat is in its lowest/rearmost position, with the backrest angled imnto the back away from the B post.

Having freed the top of the door card and removed all the screws you can, ie 3, pull the door card into the car from the top rear corner. There are two screws in the rear edge, that you need to tear the door card away from. Aim to fold the top corner under the steering wheel. This should give you working space to see what is what

I should add, for the sake of clarity, this is the most foolproof way of doing it, and most definitely not the way that I was referring to

UPDATE ON DOOR LOCK
After a nice day in the sun missing the rainy showers I managed to rip the door panel off and with a screwdriver I managed to prize the catch down that the handle moves anx yhe door opened. After looking at it I noticed that the lugthat the handle moves keeps missing it when I lock the doors . I managed to prize the lugs out to catch the handle rod but still no joy . Going to just replace it tomorrow and get 2 door panels hopefully then all be done .
Yhanks for the replys
