Well, it would cost you about 100 bucks or so at least for a locksmith to fix it..

And rolling the window down is a bad thing..

You most likly bent your locking rod and possibly damaged other components like your window regulator plate..

But hopefully you didnt..

You must take your interior door panelling off and assess the damage..

if you look carefully the rod that should not look in place will have a hole or small bend to accept the hole in the back of the exterior part of the door handle mech.

bent it back as best you can..

this will be all very complicated because you most liekly cant see many of the things im talking about being inside the door..

there will be plastic and padding presumably and you'll have to do all this through holes in the door sheet metal..

take some pics once you get access and I can help you more..
