It's impossible to see the body of the spring without the door panel off. I may have the old mechanism if you want to see how it works so you could release the lock without removing the panel. You will have to remove the panel after the door is open to replace the spring. The dealer wanted to cut the door panel in order for him to fix it. I don't know how hard it would be to find a replacement spring. The dealer could only sell me the entire mechanism.
Good Luck,
