Yesterday, I replaced the passenger side door handle on my 2015 fiat 500 sport. As I was putting the rod back into the red clip, and the red clip snapped and broke. We had somewhere to be (and I needed to order the replacement clip) so I placed the end of the rod back into it’s hole, put the door back together and gave strict instructions to not use the door.
Yes, of course the door was opened (and worked) but as the door was closed, the connector rod slipped out and now the door is not engaged and it is closed. Won’t open from inside or out.
I’m trying to envision getting the door panel back off with the door closed, but not sure if that’s an option with all the internal trim. Is there a way I can get the door open? I’d like to save the dealership for last resort, so wanted to see if anyone could give me some advice. Thank you!
