dont know how to remove door card with door shut :D but I would have thought that the handle end of the card could be peeled back so you could get your hand in but what you have to do to the lock to release it is anyone guess. Once you have it open emergency repairs to the wiring loom through the rubber boot would correct the problem I reckon. see faq for that

The remedy was a lock mechanism from VW about
