Can't open rear door 200

Afternoon all,
I have a frozen shut rear driver side door on my 1982 Volvo GLT.
I'm sure that something in the latch mechanism has come loose.
I have tried to get it to open with a homemade slim-jim but can't
seem to find what I should be catching to spring it open.
It has the electric lock and window that work ok but the outer
and inner door handles do not do a thing to release the door.
I would prefer not to try and remove the seats and all of the
brittle trim and door panel while the door is frozen, I know for
sure that something will break... and finding black leather and
plastic pieces are not an option.

Any help/a walk through or pictures would be most appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
John I.
