I took off the door trim back right. Replaced window motor. All good.
It was a bit of a pain putting the door trim back on and during process i asume the cable has come out of the door release.
Now the door will not open from inside or out.
What can i do..

Side now . window works fine now :)

child lock will still open from outside
you will need a slimjim or similar and burg the car
or cut a hole in your door trim and fix what you left off
note to self, always check several times before refitting door trim

what you be the best to cut out, the inside door handle. Just thinking of the easiest ( cheapest) thing to place.

Have you used your key and locked the car then unlocked and tried from the outside handle.
The cables coming off on the inside handle do not effect the outside handle as I have had the card off and those cables disconnected and outside handle still functioned correctly.
Even child lock only effects the inside handle not the outside.
Something missing in this story somewhere.

i would modify a coathanger and go fishing until door opens
maybe remove trim on other side to see where to hook onto
