thanks for the info guys ill give it a try. just a bit more info: my outer door handle does nothing(assuming inner clips are broken) . inner door handle does nothing either. i can see a cable that is not attached to the inner door handle lock ( from what i am guessing) im hoping i dont have to gut the interior trim to get to the cables and lock. also the window doesnt work either.(thank god it is fully closed for winter driving) lol

This is an awesome write up so thanks to the op I have a 2006 Subaru legacy the passenger side rear door is not opening from the inside or out, is there any way to open up the trim without damaging or drilling through the interior trim, any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated
