The left rear door latch has broken (or something) inside the door. After you open the right door, the handle to open the left door swings loose. With the door unable to open, how do I get inside the door to look and see what has happened? The left door handle is attached with what looks like large rivets, I have tried (gently) prying, but no luck that way.
Anyone had the same problem? and what did you have to do?

That's one idea, otherwise your only option is to drill out the 2 rivets and pop it open. I've done it on my van and it works.
