280ZX '83 - Exterior door handle adjustment

I posted this on the S30 forum by mistake

Hello,
A short time after my daughter dented the driver's side door in a minor collision with a 4X4 the exterior door handle stopped working.

Today I had the interior panel off and looked at it. It looks like everything is still in place but pulling up on the handle just doesn't move it far enough.

Does anyone know how to adjust the mechanism so that it unlatches the door? It looks like there is a plastic adjustment nut in there but it is also in a devilishly hard place and very close to the glass.

Any thoughts or experiences you can lend me are appreciated.

There are plastic adjusters at the end of the rods. Adjust them.
