Like the title says Need help passenger door wont open inside or out....It started with everything in great working condition and then it leads to outside not working but inside does. I am aware not to roll the pass. window down or it will do more damage since I knew what the cause of it after I researched it on CL it was that $2-$3 plastic clip.....so after I let my father in law used my car to run some errands I noticed that he had the pass. window more than half ways down and now the door wont open at all either inside or outside....I did some search on CL but no one has any answers...Any Help?? How to take panels off with door closed? How to manually open the door? Help a brother out there thanks and God Bless!!

 

You don't need instruction for taking door panel off when the door close, your basically gonna have to tear the panel off and replace the door lock actuator

 

Yeah I know but I'm a newby and don't know where to start? how much is to replace the panels if its all ripped apart? Please anyone with DIY?

 

anyone? before i head out to dealership tomorrow?

 

you are gonna have to destroy your door panel now. wish there was a better answer.
If you have searched there are like a dozen of these threads that would have told you when you break one you should do it right away or take off the panel so this exact thing won't happen. now all you can do is destroy the panel so you can open it manuall with your hand once you get to the actuator that now has a broken clip and/or rod.

likely you will also need a replacement door lock actuator one side is the clip, but the other side likely you have broken the metal bar also.

check out the classifieds section on here people sell door panels all the time as well as actuators.
they are different for passenger and drivers side so be sure to specify.
Lexus wont sell you a door panel and if they even have it it will be crazy expensive.
so post a WTB (want to buy) in the classifieds or PM aliga he probably has some laying around or check out the other vendors in the classifieds.

IT will feel like a magic act getting the whole actuator out of the door, and then even more tricky of a magic act getting the new one in without bending/breaking it. one of the least fun repairs I have had to do but if you take your time its really not that bad.
