So I'm guessing the inner door lock **** isn't doing it either? If you can roll the window down and either use the AIM or a vendor's cataloge to see what the assy looks like to see which rod you need to be moving to unlock the latch. Maybe watch the pass door side to
see what isn't moving on the other door. I have on occasion been able to feed a rope lite into small spaces to light up the area. Jim
