You can get the door panel partially off but it's a *****. The bad thing is the screws up front are behind where the door closes against the dash. One of your rods has probably come loose. You have to really flex it to get it even partially off and the chance of damaging it is good. Sorry man, I've been there and it sucks. Try everything you can to release the latch without screwing up the panel.

well ... 1 more thing i can think of ... try to "steal" ur own car ;)

u just might be able to catch this door "release" with an "old" thief tool through the window opening

good luck!

PS: ask somebody with maxima to help u out - open panel on his/her car and use as "directions"
