Default passenger door stuck

i have a 93 sc300 and the passenger door is stuck will not open frm inside or out, when i hit the unlock button the inside lock thing will say unlocked or w/e but its still like the door is just locked on the inside and out, i took all the doorpanel bolts that i could take off from inside, i guess im going to have to rip off the top of the panel to enter?

Either the rod or that little clip is broken inside. DO NOT try to roll the window down or it will bend the rod/break something.

i fixed it you do not have to break your door panel. you just have to pull it back and break the stuff behind the leather and that will allow you to get your hand threw and once thats done there is a rod that you need to yank on to open the door.

I took mine apart last night for the same problem, opens only from the inside. The last time this happened it was a clip from the handle to the rod, which Lexus says is only available with the handle. Not so, if you take a sample in they can match it. I was expecting the same problem, but this time it actually appears to be the latch rod itself, don't know how to fix. Wont stay in position on lock to actuate it.
