Cant open door Help ASAP

Hello C5. I'm in a bit of pickle. I took off my (exterior )door handle ( passenger side ) to wrap it with vinyl. I made the dumb mistake of closing the door with handle off. Now when I go to open it from the inside it won't budge ( it's unlocked ). Any tips on how to open the door ? Thank you

I'm afraid you will have to remove the inside door panel http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showth...+panel+removal or bring to the dealer if you don't feel safe

I can't get to the panel since the door is closed. I'm hoping the dealer is my last resort.

I think op can get into his car, he just can't open his passenger door. The door appears to be unlock, but will not open.

Exactly, I can't open the passenger door even tho it's unlocked and I can't pop off the door panel since the door is shut

pretty simple. there should be a door handle rod hanging in there. im sure you can reach in with a finger and depress it thru the exterior hole where the handle went.

I'm semi confused I thought the interior pull and exterior pull are two separate entities?

The exterior functions without the interior being on so why not vice versa?

Yeah I thought the same thing. For some reason now the latch is stuck even with the door unlocked it won't open from the inside.
