Default Door won’t open, how to open it?

Drivers side. Yesterday while I’m in the car pulling the handle it felt like something bent inside as I’m trying to open. Now with it being locked or unlocked both handle feel the same. Window is rolled up and doesn’t go down (broken window motor I’ve ignored. How can I get the door open?

i have to hop in through the passengers side which is a PITA.

I would remove both front seats, (just to make room to work) then pull the door panel off from the inside.

There is a plastic piece w/in the door that links the handle with the latch mechanism and is notorious for breaking. Very possible that’s the issue. You can find it at the “help” section at any parts store. Very easy to replace, but you will have to remove the inside door panel to get to it.
