I have a 2007 oldsmobile silhouette. the lock on the rear door has busted. Is there any way to open the door without using the lock/handle?

Hello, The door panel has to be removed, and yes, I know this will be irritating and seemingly impossible. Many times, when the lock cylinder is broken and the door cannot be opened, the door panel can come off, but sometimes you have to drill a hole in a strategic area in order to manually release the door at the latch.
