Help ASAP Door trouble

Hello C5. I'm in a bit of pickle. I took off my (exterior )door handle ( passenger side ) to wrap it with vinyl. I made the dumb mistake of closing the door with handle off. Now when I go to open it from the inside it won't budge ( it's unlocked ). Any tips on how to open the door ? Thank you

There should be a black rubber looking wire with a little knob on it. Grab that little knob and pull the shit out of it and your door should open.

You mean inside the door panel ? My door is shut thus I can't remove the panel.

I'd call a locksmith and discuss this with them. I'd think they could use there "Slim Jim" and pop the door open from the inside.

Is the handle still off? Are you able to use a screwdriver to move the little lever out towards the outside of the car? That is all that opens the latch. It;s tucked in there pretty good, but you should be able to see it.
Hope this helps.

Yeah I see the small lever. I pulled it towards me and still nothing. I'm out of ideas. At the dealer. Hopefully the pocket doesn't take a big hit.

Pop trunk and go through? Maybe you can get back seat to go down from trunk and then open from inside.
