Rear door lock

[kev62]

Anyone any idea how I can get the rear door open on my 2008 focus I had noticed it wasn't unlocking everytime but because it doesn't get used much I put off looking at it now it wont unlock at all. Ive got the door card off and the metal panel inside but cant see a way too trip it open.

Hiya, I have the same issue. 

After unscrewing the metalic panel what did you do next to safely take it off in terms of the glass? 

Some info here might help: 

If you live around Essex or Cambridge / Royston we could meet and try to troubleshoot together 😀
