Default 2011 Camaro no handle locked door HELP

Hello, so I have a 2011 Camaro I was preparing the car for a wrap and I removed the exterior door handles and unhooked the interior handles. At this point I though it would be smart (sarcasm) to close the doors shut thinking I could re-open them by simply pulling on the lock's wire. Turns out that the doors will not open.

Does anyone know how I can open the doors? Thank you in advance.

Can you get in the other door? Is the door card put back in?

No I have removed both door handles, luckily the windows are down so I still have access to the inside. And I'm not sure what you mean by door cards.

Cant you just reassemble the inner door latch? worst case I have had to remove the seat but that is like 10 minutes of work.

I have access to the cable that attaches to the inner latch however when I pull on the cable in attempt to unlock the door it will not open. One of my friends removed his outer door handles and locked the latch and it also would not open. Not until the screw that is used to remove the outer door handle is turned with the outer handle attached will it unlock. However I can't turn the screw since the doors are closed.

Hello,

Has anyone solved this problem yet?

My driver's door is locked, without a handle or interior panel, and I can't open it by pulling the handle cable.

Default Problem opening the door

Hello,

I bought a 2015 Camaro with the following problem.



The driver's door handle is removed, and the interior door panel is missing.



Now I can't open the door. When I pull the cable from the inside door handle, the door stays locked. Has anyone encountered this problem?
