When bought the car the passenger front door would not lock at all, so when i put a new speaker in that door i started messing with the lock and i did something because when i put my door panel back on and then tried opening my door it would not open from inside or out, so now it is stuck closed. Any ideas on how to open the door?

you will have to pull door panel off as you probably broke a clip on door rod or the cable has come off or broken. to open door see picture.

it is not easy because of not much room, see pictures. you might check number two in instructions and see if cable is already released and pull on cable to see if door will open.
