Whilst a bit of careful removal of handles etc. as much as possible then gentle releasing of as many panel/door card clips may give more room.

If not mechanically minded , it may be worth seeing if you can drive the car to a locksmith to reduce costs (no call out charge) and get a price.

Does the Central Locking still "pulse the lock"?
There is no pulse from the central locking, yes had to take seat base out to get door card of, i can't seem to find anything to do with door locks on the EPER parts systemEPER is the FIAT parts system

Take a look here.... the locks are listed under 'display units and windows', which is I think a translation error
The wider 'rear doors' section might give a few hints too:
