You need to pop the whole plate off. The part is fairly expensive, but I had the handle on mine sheer off during off during the winter, and I needed to get underneath the entire door handle and pop it off. It comes off and comes back together fairly easily. Check on eBay, the complete door handle assemblies are selling for between $20 - $30.
You need to replace the lock/unlock actuator. This action happens when actuators areworn out, this action is worst during cold seasons.
I have a 1997 Olds Cutlass Supreme and have been in your position several times! I have had to replace both door handles twice, and now the passenger side door is broken again. You *can* get into the car through the trunk--have someone who is small get into the trunk and push through the backseat (not sure if it's the same side in all the car, but mine pushes through on the driver's side of the backseat). I'd also recommend covering the handles during the winter months when you're not driving the car. When water and ice get behind the handles, it makes them break more quickly. In all...it's really just a terrible design on Oldsmobile's part....
crawl in from the trunk i do
hi i have a 2001 tacoma and the 2 exterior door handles are broken what tools do i need ??

If both sides are broken and the windows are up you will probably have to break in. Next time don't wait 'til both handles break to fix 'em.
