5gen prelude door problem

[2.2vtec]

My inner door handle doesnt work and was wondering if someone on here knows how to fix it. Please PM me. Thanks

you gotta take the door panel apart.
The rod that connects the handle to the actual opening mechanism probably just came off.

is this a common problem or just bad luck?

probably bad luck....I remember that happening when I installed front speakers and I found out that the handle was bulging outwards and I couldn't open the door. Its kinda funny to roll the window down and open the door from the outside to get out.....lol

Its not that hard, just a PITA putting the door panel back in....

So when I pop open the door panel will it just snap back in after?

Yup, be careful not to break any of the plastic clips. I think there's something like 10 screws too to take out as well. The plastic clip that holds the handle rod is probably broken.
