However, now that your outer door handle just broke you can’t open the door from the inside or outside. In my case, my kid resembled one of the Duke Boys as I had to lower the window to get him in and out of the car seat. Ghetto, but hey you do what you have to do.
I was able to fix this situation. Here’s what I am going to go over in the write up:
– How to pull the door panel “cassette” off when the door is shut.
– How to not completely freak out – you can fix this – and for almost no money.
– How to open the door so you can turn off that blasted child security lock.
Take a deep breath, sit back, and don’t freak out (I say that because I was close).
Step 1:
Pulling the door panel / cassette off the inner door.
Step 2:
Peel the moisture / sound insulation off.
Step 3:
Open the door.
Step 4:
Deactivate that stupid child lock.
Step 5:
Replace the broken outer door handle
Step 6:
Replace the moisture / sound insulation
Step 7:
Reinstall the door panel.
Step 8:
Drink a beer.
