If anyone has a pic or can take a pic of their door with the interior panel off that shows all of components on the inside, I'd appreciate if you would post it. My drivers side exterior and interior door locks are frozen, hence the door won't open. Before calling someone else who will completely tear apart the door, I figured I would give it a try myself first at opening it. It would help if I had an idea where everything is located before I go in with the slim jim.

Let me know if you find anything out......I am in the same boat!

Marcus, I can walk you through it. PM me. Or if you want a super fast response with pics do a search for "PerryinLA" where he shows you how to reinforce the window sills with epoxy and steel rods. That's a great thread with plenty of pics that will show you the inner workings of the door mechanism.

If it turns out you need the little white plastic rod clip that goes in the door then I have one and will send it to you, it's a dinky little piece of crap but it couples the door lock mechanism with a rod which activates the locks. What a PITA. Hit me up if you can't find the thread and I'll see if I can find it. It's regarding repairing cracked window sills or something to that effect.

If you want to take the panel off it's pretty easy but you will need a screwdriver and a pry/wedge tool to pop the lower clips.

For reference this is a speaker install, but has the door removed w/ pic's:
