door lock problem.. 66 fastback

[grantur01]

Well i locked the door yesterday just messing around in the driveway and the latch that the push pin hits when you push the button in stuck. It is now stuck in the up position. I tried to just pry it down hoping it would flip back down. It's still stuck. So whenever I shut the drivers door it locks now. I have to open it from the inside handle. Do I have to pull off the panel and window regulator peice to get into it? Or is there just a trick to flipping the latch back down to where it should be??? thanks!

I couldn't follow the description of your problem too well. But to access the lock rod you just need to remove the panel. You have to remove the door handle, window crank and arm rest, then remove the door panel. You don't need to remove the window regulator to access the lock rod assembly, just roll the window all the way up.
