There are no speakers in the rear doors, along the same line, however, damaging the rear door card to remove it is the only way I can see so you can gain access to the lock mechanism (Removing the rear seats will help you) as you can't remove the fixings without the door being open.

This is the reason I can never understand the logic in removing door handles and locks

You'll be able to get down the window trim in the same way you would with the fronts if say you'd locked your keys in it. You'll need something like a metal ruler with a notch in it unless you know someone with a lock out kit. I have one but a little far away to do it for you. Try and catch an aa man they have the kits I think

If you take the padded bit of the door card off and cut a hole you can get your hand in that way, then glue the padding bit back, I got in mine that way.

The OP can get into the car, the problem is he just can't open the rear door

Yes and? Your point is? If he's not wanting to pull the panel off and damage something iam telling him a way to open the door without any damage.

Sorry mate, my bad, I misread your post, but it will be tricky I should think, but worth a try.
