Driver Side Door Not Open From Out Side - Toyota Yaris Forums

Scott, here is my issue: my F Passenger door is locked shut. I was installing a new speaker and did not latch either handle to the open door mechanism. And on the down side, when I placed the door panel back on, the door was fixed in a locked position! So now the door is closed, locked, and neither handle connects with the metal bar, no neither open it, or unlock it for that matter.
I have tried to remove the manual window lever and get at the bar through there, bit that's no good. Also, I tried the door panel arm rest, there is a plastic cover that can be popped off. But still, can't reach it.
Is this a moment where a slim jim come I to play?
Thanks!
