    Unhappy HELP! Drivers side rear door broken (AH Astra)

    Went to open the rear door of my 06 Astra this morning and it would't budge, both the inside and outside handles don't work. It was working fine yesterday and the electric window still works. Any ideas as how to fix it without tearing my car apart?
    From what I understand it is a common problem?

    Have managed to fix this by bashing the inside of the door near the lock while unlocking.
    However this threw up another problem, the damn window stopped working and is stuck fully open (not great as it's raining now). Checked the connection of the door loom & checked the fuse, both are fine.
    Could really use some help on this, I haven't got a clue.

    Solved it. Know an electrician and he found at least 3 snapped wires at the connection point, one of which had a very dodgy repair done by the previous owner (image attached).
