I'm about to go work on an 98 240 and one of the big problems with it is that the passenger side door doesn't open. The reason the seller gave for why it won't open is because the rod that connects the handle to the latch is not connected and that a plastic part of the latch is what is broken.

Now I know how to take off a door if it could open, but the problem is, how can I get it off with the door shut and no way to take off the inner door panel?

Take off the door panels from the inside, and you should probably be able to pull a couple of the rods and see which one/which way it opens. Or follow it into where the latch assembly is and try to get something to pull on it, or rehook up that rod.

ahh i just messed with those stupid rods today.. if those things are bent to a slight degree they wont open =\ but the rods for the key on the outside and the rods for the insides i thought were different and not hooked up together ? why would both be broken? but anyway... oo that would be hard to get it if both sides can not open the door... u cant remove the door skin from inside because of the screws you would need to get to is covered by the car >.<... well... just as fyi to open the door you pull on the rod
