Right after playing with it for around 30 minutes I lost my pacience and pulled the door panel and it actually came off quite easily and you don't have to undo the bottom 2 screws and you don't need to take the seat off - just folding it should be enough.
I had to get my friend as my arms were too big - he managed to grab the piece of the outside handle that was broken - which I'm ordering a new one on eBay and release the lock and opening the door.
Hope this helps!
