nope.. i can open the passenger.. but the spring in the latch is broken on the driver .. and it prevents the driver side unlocking.

If neither the interior nor exterior handle work then you are going to have to try and remove the door panel with the door closed.

You probably will, but what are your alternatives?

Assuming you can roll the window down, it might not be that bad. You just have to get the top over the lip and then hopefully you can gain access to what you need.

Might want to remove the drivers seat to give you some working room.

roll the window down there's a lever located which is attached to the exterior door handle. Push it down and TADA!

sorry don't have pictures to help you out. It will be a mission though.
