so as you all know, i have my naples sedan.
well, my front doors are perfect.
back doors, issues.

rear passenger side, only opens from inside.
that problem was self diagnosed, and will be repaired soon.
the lever piece on the inside of the handle that pushes down the latch looking piece to open the door is broken off of the rest of the assembly, so the exterior handle moves but the lever doesn't move with the handle. new handle'll repair that.

REAR DRIVER SIDE.
same handle problem exterior.
BUT. it's child locked on the inside. ))): so it can't be opened from the inside OR the outside.
the lock can't be disengaged, and the door panel cant be removed. and the exterior handle cant be replaced. WHY?
BECAUSE THE DOOR WONT FREAKING OPEN!!!!!!!!!!!!

so has anyone else ever had this or a similar problem? please tell me what i should do. help MAJORLY appreciated.

thanks!

dang that sucks. when other people have had their doors stuck close I've always read that they had to risk bending or breaking the interior door panel to get inside the door. i dont know what you would need to pull on inside the door tho

Try taking the back seat cushion off and putting the drivers seat forward for some space, you should be able to get the door panel off

^You run the risk of scratching your paint if you do that. Only way to properly take your outside door handle off is to access it from behind.
