While fixing the window regulator I snapped the latch cable and closed the door. I thought I could still open it from the outside, thinking that the outside handle may uses a induvial cable instead but now the door doesn't open from either side. I know its silly but I did it, it's there another way I can get the door opened back so I can pull the door panel off? Any advice would be greatly appreciated... thank you!!

The plastic part that secures the cable to the door latch broke on my a few months ago. Sucked. Anyway, the only way to open the door (I couldn't open it from outside or inside either) was to take off the inside door cover and pull on the latch to open it.

This was my problem:

Good luck
How did you manage to take the interior panel off with the door closed??
