I had to break in to mine once. I bent a piece of .100" rod into an arc with a 90° bend at the end. I carefully slid it between the glass and seal at the top rear on the driver side. I then hooked the inner door handle and pulled twice, opening the door. If you use a piece of plastic or thin cardboard between the rod and seal you can ensure that you won't damage it.

There are probably better tools for this, but I needed to get into the car and just used what I had. It was a 10 minute job with experimenting with bends to get to the handle, etc.
