2006 hyundai sonata rear door wont open

get a tool from the parts store called a slimjim.. its a thin long metal bar that has notches in one end..it will fit between the weather strip and the windowglass and allow you to "trip" the door latch to open the car door(just like car thieves do!) and then you can acess the door panel to fix those pesky handles..

MY ACCENT REAR NEARSIDE DOOR WILL NOT UNLOCK, HOW DO i REMOVE THE INNER PANEL WITH THE DOOR LOCKED . OR GET THE DOOR OPEN

It wont be pretty but examine other rear door and be familiar with retaining fixings,ie door grab handle , window winder , and any screw fixings .
Remove what you can and maybe the rear seat also (sorry) The window winder removal is easier than you think ! It's held on by a horse shoe shaped spring clip, remove with a simple shoe lace or narrow piece of cloth pulled in the opposite direction of the horse shoe clip.(don't loose) This is about as much as I can help you , after this it's a tug and pull (against snap fixxings) upward lifting motion of the panel. Good Luck
