I know someone has had to deal with this. PLEASE HELP

You might be able to pry open the locking mechanism that closes around the striker with a flat blade screw driver. Im not sure.My memory isnt the best. Can you get the door panels off? You mat need to remove some interior trim. The door arm rest/handle needs to come off (2 screws?) as well as the window crank (allen wrench set screw). You could use heat but be carefull not to melt any of those little plastic clips on the ends of the rods. I suspect the latch itself is siezed.
