Sliding door won't open, coat trapped in door help needed

[BurlingtonBerty]

Vehicle is a 2020 T6.1 converted panel van. Last night my coat got stuck on the front of the sliding door. The coat won't come out of the door and the door will not open.

I've removed the door card and can see a white plastic box with a white pipe leading to it. Can also see a unit with electrical wires leading to it. I can't see any mechanical part with cables which could be used to manually unlock the door.

Is there a way to release the door?

Is the door fully closed? My only thought is to try and apply pressure inward, ie. force into the closed position. If the latch is jammed this may take a bit of pressure off and allow it to function normally.
Obviously there's a risk of making things worse, especially if it's not fully closed right now.

I'm not near my van unfortunately. But if you look over to the left of the door with the door card off, there should be a small white plastic circle in the top left corner. Pop that out and it should have a manual release cable within it.
Mine does but I don't know if this is standard or to do with the deadlocks on mine...

Edit: Like this

What’s this on my sliding door card?

Can anyone tell me what the white disk thing is.... I was about to take the door card off and I noticed that there's a thin wire attached to it...

Fixed ,thanks for your help. I thought I'd put some photos on to show the problem, on one photo showing the inner door I saw the little release wire which had come off the white plastic release disk. I stuck my hand in, gave in yank and hey presto the door magically popped open.

So this picture was taken inside sliding door pointing towards rear of vehicle.

The release wire now is a lot longer so not sure if it's a use once in a emergency or if it is possible to wind the wire back into the mechanism. I'm just happy that I didn't have to go to JCT600 with my coat flapping in the breeze all the way there.

It does wind back eventually. I pulled mine not knowing what it was when I was stripping the ply lining. Didn’t push back but after about 3-4 door operations it’s gone back.

Glad you got sorted
