Glad you think so. Can't stand when they wanna take 30 mins to talk about things other than the problem then finally talk about it and don't even explain anything lol.
What if my interior door doesn't open either? The cord that hooks into a plastic piece is broke so my interior handle stopped working before the exterior did. Now I have no idea how to get it open even if I do this trick
You will have to get something in to pop the latch itself. That will be harder.. if all fails, you might have to pry it and bust the latch and replace the latch or take it to a shop
