Default Locked out need help

The lock rod jammed on my passenger door some time ago. Neither the key nor interior lever would unlock the door, no matter how hard I pushed. I ignored it since I hardly ever need the passenger door. Now, my drivers door handle stopped working from the outside. I think the connecting rod came off. HOW DO I GET IN MY CAR? I'd rather not break a window.

If the facelifts are similar to pre-facelifts in this respect, you might get in this way:
Unscrew the wing mirror, shine a torch inside and you should/might be able to see the rod that connects the interior door handle to the actual lock. With a pair of snipe-nosed pliers activate the rod.
