Default Unable to open passenger door.

Hello there,

I have this issue since I got it, the left passenger door does not open. It has a loose handle from the outside and the inside handle doesnt work. I want to take a look inside however I'm not able to do that without opening the door first right? Any suggestions?

What a quandary. Have you tried using the key in the outside lock and then pull on the inside handle? How about pulling up on the lock stem, pulling out on the inside handle and giving the door a nudge with your shoulder? Other than getting the door open first, I'm not sure how you're going to access the inside of the door for the repair. Maybe someone else has a better suggestion.
