I went to insert my key to unlock my door (on driver side, has power locks) on my 2004 Forenza and the silver thing where you insert the key just fell into the door panel! How much of a debacle is it gonna be to get the door panel off and/or get that stupid thing out to put back on? I hope its not a long process. Is there any quik way to get it like take the handle off or sumthing? What tools do i need and such? Please help. This is soooooooo frustrating.
Heres a picture of it:

I had to take mine to the dealership - they take off the door panel (no tools needed other than a phillips screw driver for door handle) and find the lock. They use loc-tite or gorilla glue on the plate of the lock and then push it back into place. Then, just put your door panel back on. Takes less than one hour.

 

There is one 10mm bolt that holds the lock in.. They always back out. Just remove the door panel and find the bolt (most likely in the bottom of your door) and put it back in... its actually really simple
