look at the left most part of the door, and see if there is still a black plastic cover. Remove that and you will get access to the other bolt. I just cant remember the order but one is easier to get to if the window is up. Then the other one when it is down.

Thanks for the help... I actually found it... I looked under the handle outside and saw a bump and felt around on the inside to get it.... I actually just took the whole window out.... gave me a good chance to clean it all up nicely... so as im putting the bolt back on... my finger pops out the black clip from the inside... At this moment I have a sudden flash of 'you idiot' and look through the opening wam!! straight access needless to say I know how to do it next time and forgave myself... the new lock works so nicely I think I'm gonna put a new one on the pass. side now haha
