use the right key. bwahahahaha but seriously you may need to disassemble and find the broken piece. or just replace with a new set.

^^^this, but before you dissasemble everything try spraying some pb blaster in the hole. Let it sit for 5 mins see if it helps. When i first got my car the locks were rusted as shit and i couldnt turn them without bending my keys.

^good idea. try doing minimal test first. sometimes laziness works best haha

my hatchback does this sometimes, I just work it back and forth with minimal force + some pb or wd..

at least our door panels are easy enough to remove = /
