Now The Drivers Door Wont Open!!!

This is just a thought , but do you have the right Patrol, dont you lol
EDIT::: CHECK NUMBER PLATE

Maybe bite the bullet, remove the front seat and cut the door trim open. Cheaper than some other suggestions.

How's that for being constructive and sympathetic?

Probably won't help if it the same problem I had with the actual locking mechanism being broken as the connecting rods won't unlock it.
Only suggestion is to see a panel beater as they must have seen it before or Mr Nissan as a safety issue. Good luck and let us know how it eventually works as it will happen to more and more of us over time.

I'll echo that - I'm hoping there might be a trick of the trade which makes the resolution relatively painless, but if not I think we need to hear all the gory details! (& I'm not laughing at TD's last post - honest )

Pull the window trims off and see if you can get to the mechanism. With the window down of course

If you do this you should have some access to the lock. The outer window trim does come off with the door shut.

Tried swearing at it? Doesn't seem to help much.. But makes me feel better.

Yeah they are a bugger to come off. Easier with the window down, the inside of the window trim had steel clips. So its made to not come off with ease.
Or do they have a screw in one end?.... Hmm I cant remember now.

If it's as Wizard suggests then neither removing the inner trim or cutting a hole in the door sound like solutions, but I guess removing the trim & hoping to find a busted or misplaced connecting rod can't make things worse............. but I reckon a call to Mr Nissan first might be wise.

You want me to see exactly how it comes off, from my car...
