How do I remove door interior to access the door lock mecanism ? on both door !

Car door presumably? Usually not an easy task and the more modern the vehicle usually the less easy it tends to be as the interior of the door becomes distinctly more crowded with side impact protection, electronics, wiring, linkages and consequently more must be removed to access the latch. Working inside a modern car door is more suited to a surgeon...

Even with a basic door from an older car without any refinements the interior trim panel must first be removed followed by the waterproof membrane, often the rear vertical window runner or guide must be removed and then the latch connections to the interior and exterior handles and lock must be disconnected and only then can the latch be unscrewed and removed from the dark confined space that is the interior of the average old door.

Attempting to work inside a door in bright daylight means the door interior is almost impossible to illuminate the door interior and leads to severe frustration...

More info needed. Is this a front door or a rear door? If a front door, you need to remove the plastic interior trim panel for access. With the interior panel removed, temporarily reinstall the window switch to raise the window glass. Look inside the door at the lower rear corner. You will see the lock actuator there. It's mounted on a steel U shaped bracket. It has a black rubber boot over it and a rod going up to the door latch. You may need to remove the bolt holding the steel U channel which guides the rear of the window, for improved access to the lock actuator. Unsnap the retaining clip for that rod at the latch mechanism. The U shaped bracket is riveted into the door frame. You will need a 3/16" or 1/4" cobalt drill bit [available at Ace Hardware] to drill out the retaining rivet(s). Partially remove the actuator for better access to the electrical connector. Disconnect the electrical connector and remove the actuator. Reverse this process to install the new actuator. You can use a Nyloc nut, washers and a bolt to mount the new actuator if you don't have a rivet gun and the proper sized rivet(s) to remount the new actuator.

You will need someone with a break in kit. You are only allowed them if you have a reason to have them ie: licensed repairer. It will contain wedges to go between the outside of the window & the door to spread the gap. There is then a series of wire hooks, sheet steel with notches cut out etc... They need to put the correct one in the gap & unlock the door if it is locked. Then actuate the latch mecanism inside to open the door. You can then get the trim off to repair the problem. I have a kit but sorry I can't help.

By hook or by crook the door panel must be removed in order to access the internal mechanism even if it must be badly damaged and need replacing. It is usual to remove the seat to improve access.

replace the motor, the mecanism is made of plastic inside and it has too much freeplay so it ends jammed crooked in the casing, common problem with electric windows

It's easy!

1. Remove triangle-shaped plastic cover Fwd of door window - gently pry it off
   
   
2. Remove screw from the plastic cover behind door open lever
   
   
3. Remove door lock plunger. (unscrew)

6. Pry hidden plastic hold down fasteners from around the edge - pull the panel away from the door and where you see it 'stuck' to the door, slide a pry tool, a stiff putty knife works well, up in that area and pop the fastener off.
   
   
7. Lift door liner enough to get to the mirror power connector and unplug.

youll have to take the door panel off and look for a rod or a clip that came undone its an easy fix

Many interior panels have additional screws running along the bottom and sides of the panel. They are normally visible and easily accessible when the door is wide open. Compare this first with the right side door of your vehicle.

The key area to look for is any screw that holds the side of the panel. When you remove this (exhausting all patience and guile :-D), you can force off the interior panel rail along the window. The small gap can afford you or an automotive locksmith access to the locking mechanism and open the door.

Hope this helps.

Try to remove interior trim (plastic) on rear door panel from inside the vehicle to access metal access panel and get to door actuator rods to get door open for further repair.
