How can you open a deadlocked Volkswagen Passat?
If you pull the lever from inside, the locking pin comes up but even while pulling the lever you can’t open the door. As soon as you let go of the lever the pin goes back flush with the door trim.

Can a car door be opened from the inside?
If it is engaged, the door will not open from the inside by design. Remove the window crank in cars with manual windows. There will either be a screw in the center of the handle or a retaining clip on the back side of the handle. Remove the inner door handle. Look for a screw in the bezel, under the handle lever.
