Default Driver Door Won't Open

Have any of you any idea of how I can get the driver door open so that I can repair the linkage inside? Thanks

Is the door is stuck closed because it's locked? If yes, push down on this part with a long screwdriver.

Default Door Won't Open Option

If you roll down the window nearly all of the linkage is exposed for your viewing to help open the door. See the previous post to see how to unlock the door. Thanks for the post. By the way, I got it open, thanks all.
