The doors on my 914 are closed and the windows are up. The nylon outer door handle lock inserts are broken and the doors cannot be opened from the outside. Does anyone have any ideas how I may get a door opened so that I can repair the door handle without breaking a window? I know from past experience that the doors can be opened from inside the car.

I have also had some luck with releasing the rear roof latches with a coat hanger! Then you can pick up the back of the roof and slide something long in (broom handle?) and release the front ones!
