Outside lock is busted, plastic clip that holds the metal locking rod for the inside lock just completely broke.

Suggestions on how to get my door open besides slimjim, or getting door panel off without opening it?

I'm gonna get a slimmy if nobody has a better idea.

Its tuff but assuming you can't open from the inside....you'll have to go through the passenger side lower the window....get a slotted screw driver and pry the door panel back on the top...be careful not to break it...get a longer slotted screwdriver and you'll have to push the door lock rod with it...not a easy task and will take time but I've done it so I know it works
