whats the best solution to this problem as it opens fine from the outside without any problems?

ive had a look at the door locks and they line up fine else the door wouldnt open at all?

Take the door card off and check that there are no broken connectors

Right ok mate I'll have a look at that, is there any other solutions if there are not any broken connectors or will I have to get a whole new mechanism?

You might get lucky and just have to pop the metal bar back into the handle

Oh right, I will have a look at this then. And also the windows go up and down fine but the rubber has become bent inwards and has stopped it going so far up, what's the best solution to remould them back so it goes up and down smoothly??
