okay bought this 98 Honda Accord LX the
rear door went open handles broke the
problem was is the child safety lock was
on inside and so I can't open it from
the inside either so I gotta figure out
a way to get at it and I'll show you
what I came up with first of all I
thought I'm gonna have to get that
interior cover off that door but so I
didn't need to in the end so what you
have to do is remove this this rear seat
here and there's a ten millimeter bolt
right there you don't hook that and pop
the lift up on the front pull that seat
out and then on these side panels
there's a ten millimeter bolt right
there
unbolt that you should be able to lift
this side piece out
and I did then you can fold this back
down if you need to what you probably
will I think if you reach in through
here there's a lever you can unhook and
fold this down so what I did is on this
side I could see where this safety latch
is the other side apparently it's down
so I can't open from the inside so we
have to pop that lever up and I tried
fishing a you know I took a piece of
metal there I tried fishing it in
between the door and a panel there but
it's just there's too many bends in here
to get by here and slide it up and down
and it just wouldn't work so what I came
over here now so I came onto this
passenger side and I unbolted this side
panel put that out of there and then I
looked at what we had over here on this
side and where this safety lock was
going to come hit this door and I notice
there's a little hole here about in line
they went over this side then I took
cordless bill here the bigger bit
oversized that hole there and then I had
a piece of like coat hanger
you can see I reached in there flick the
safety latch up I was able to reach in
here then you know I had taken this door
handle off and so you reach in here pull
a lever boom door opens the night now I
can remove this panel and I get at the
latch remove the outside latch and
replace that and should be good to go
another note this hole here you know
that the original little hole doesn't go
all the way through so that's why you
have to drill it all the way through
that second piece of metal there and
then you could reach in with the hanger
and and reach in there and flip that
lever up and and your gold
