Pop all of the rivets on the inner door panel and lift it up and off the door. Under there is a plastic sheet that you can just peel off. Once you get that off you should be able to look inside the door and see whats wrong.

i'll bet they knocked the latch rods off. try rolling the window down, use a wide blade screw driver to spread the window opening and look in with a flash light. you should be able to hook the door latch mech on the inside of the door to pop the latch.
if all else fails, take it to a good body shop. they should be able to help.
good luck, bj

Get one of the door unlocker things that cops use. Maybe it is locked and the mechanism broke.

If you really need to get that door open then why don't you just cut the door panel open. Im sure you could find another door panel off a junker car.
