Yea had this happen twice. Just pry back as much of the door panel you can and reach in there. Need a new door lock or outside handle. I find the lil **** spring breaks real easy

I'd go with this advice here. If you take the outer window seal off, you should be able to find something to operate the mechanism with. If you need detailed pictures of the door catch mechanism, let me know. Mine are out of my doors right now.
