Default Door won't open from the inside

For some reason my 03' coup won't open from the inside on the drivers side and sucks always having to open it by rolling down the window then sticking my arm out of it to open it from the outside. Does anyone know what i can do to fix it? Do I need to take it to a body shop or is it something I can do on my own? Ohh yeah by the way when I do try to open it from the inside, you can hear the door click as it was opening but it doesn't(wasn't sure if including the clicking sound would help figure out the problem), thankx.

NOt sure if it uses the same mechanism as my 5th gen, but check to see if the door handle has the rod connecting the latch to it or not. Sounds like it may have come unhooked.

Naw, no one has opened the panel door besides me and that was just to check the connection for the door. I can't tell whats wrong with the connections cause everything seems to be working but one thing and its hard to explain but there seems to be a block in the door panel I guess where u put the key in and thats where I think the problem is...where can I take it just to get check to see what the problem is?

2 things, eitehr your rod came off when you last took off the door and you didnt put it back on or didnt put it on correctly.

other thing, which happened to me, the latch just got bitchy and started sticking, but i doubt this happened with you due to you being able to open it from the outside.

take off your door panel, and screw on the handle, with out the panel and make sure everything works right, you may have bent the rod and caused it to not full operate the latch. play with it, figure that ish out mang
