This problem just occurred.

My car is an 1999 Acura 3.2TL. The rear driver's side door handle is broken and the child proof door lock is on. How can I get the door open in order to fix both problems?

Thanks.

    You may have to open the other rear door and take out the back seat to gain axcess to the lower inner door trim clips. You will need instruction to remove the door trim panel so as not to damage it.
    There is a company that independent auto repair shops "buy" their information from that offer a very reasonable service to do it yourselvers. You can get a one week subscription or year subscription very cheap. The information is year make and model specific repair procedures, service bulletins, component locations, wiring diagrams ect.... great quality information same as the professionals have ,much better than generic workshop manuals from parts stores, much cheaper than the factory manual try http://bit.ly/mitchell_repair_manuals_online
    and get an online repair manual subscription.
