Driver door won't open, jammed cable? - Toyota Yaris Forums

I was just looking at it from that perspective and it appears to be too tight to get much in there. Gone are the days when a slim jim would get in there and unlock a door, especially with the Yaris using cables to lock/unlock the door. I was also looking at this LINK, door lock section (scroll down the main page a little), page 128 - 133 and I think I'm pretty much going to have to cut an opening near or all around the door opening lever to get to the cable ends and hopefully coax them into releasing the door. Since I've "deadened" the door, all the normal access holes are completely covered up, so the only I thing I can work with are the cable ends up near the door release lever.

I do appreciate the suggestion, thanks.
