Well my drivers side's been locked for awhile it seems the locks and actuators are fine but the problem was the rod that was connected to the door hinge which for some reason just fell out of place, it's happened before and it wasn't a big deal but now it happened on the passengers side which leaves me with no way of getting in. Idk what to do to get in i tried a coat hanger and called some lock smiths and most of them are closed one said he would get back to me if i could just get in i could put the rod's back in place any ideas?

I'd try getting in through one of the back doors. I believe their lock rods function up and down as the lock thingie sticks above the door panel unlike in the front where it is in the armrest.~David~

Get a lockout guy, they can get in into anything. Many times the back door is where they go in anyway. Some even use pillows (that look like a blood pressure cuff) to pump open a little space in the door and then pop the lock.2020 Volvo XC90 T6 Momentum (Ice White / Blonde)

When front locks on my 91 were frozen last month, I got in by using a coat hanger to unlock the back door.
The hook part I made to stick out maybe 1-2 inches, once into the door I could spin the coat hanger and when it hit the rod for the lock I could see it moving.
Then I lowered the coat hanger in slowly while spinning it back and forth to keep track of where the upright lock rod was until I found the bottom of that rod. Once I found the bottom of that I was able to pull up and watch the lock on the inside of the car come up.
It took me a while to figure it out, and after I found the bottom of the upright rod the lock didn't go up on the first pull, just keep at it.Vic

Once the actuators are out, you will not have this problem again. Just make sure to straighten out the pop rod.
