So some jackass pushed my lock into the door.. he may have been trying to jack my car or maybe not.. either way, it's really annoying and I figure I should fix it. I need to take the door apart to get to it though.. Does anyone know how I should go about doing this?

There are a couple screws that I tried removing, it loosened it a little but i couldn't find anymore screws.

Thanks in advance

 

There should be a screw behind the inside handle. The rest are around the outer edge. The door card lifts off (clips holding it on face up, so lift up). If you have electric windows you will have disconnect the wires to the switch.

Once the door card is off, you will have to remove the plastic lining inside the door. The glue holding it on is a pain in the *** to deal with. It can get all over you and is hard to get off. The window is also very difficult to get around if you don't want to take it out. You will probably need 2 pairs of needle nose pliers to separate c-clips.

Be prepared to get frustrated.

 

oh wow haha.. there's no other way to get at the fallen lock? Can i just remove the handle from outside and fish the lock out and pop it back into place and then glue it all back together?

 

Easy to take off from the outside = easy to steal.
