Unable to open Rear drivers side door

My rear drivers side door won’t open. I’ve tried unlocking it from the inside and pulling the handle from the outside at the same time and various other options to no avail. So I guess it’s take the interior panel off to gain access..... but this is where my problems start. Mine is a 2006 D3 Commercial so there is no way to access the bottom half of the door card. Also the window is fixed shut with an Aluminium panel glued over the window. I’m guessing my only option is to rip the door card apart, but will this give me access to get the door open?
Thanks.

Well Censored me. I tried everything over the last few weeks but as you said to try the dash buttons, I held the inside handle open and pressed the lock unlock buttons a good few times until it wouldn’t lock any door and suddenly the door opened.
Result thanks. Bow down
Now I must remember not to lock the car until I can get it fixed.

If you’ve got auto lock enabled on the dash it will lock the moment you reach 4mph, and then you are back to square one Big Cry
