To gain access to the master cylinder, what I did was cut the plastic where they narrowed at the grilles (2 points). The grille/cover can be flipped up as they hinge on the long piece of rubber. In summary, once those 2 pieces of narrow plastic were cut, all I had to do was lift the segment of that rubberized foam hood gasket then lift the grille/cover then the master cylinder is fully accessible.

You should still be able to unlock it manually. If not the latch release may be broken. In that case get a replacement door card from a wrecker before you start in case you break yours. You need to remove it to get at the cables. But try removing the inside latch and pull in the cables directly.

They have tiny little grooves in them that get filled with disgusting gunk i used a toothpick for that and it worked quite well just hold the hvac panel upside down while you do this so the gunk doesnt fall back down onto the panel and possibly into the circuit board, then give the knobs a good wipe down with an alcohol wipe or something similar, and your knobs will be nice and clean.
