The other day I went to unlock the passenger side door of my 96 Jetta and it made a scrunching sound with the key and also the part with the tumblers in it wanted to come out with the key and when I pushed it back in I heard something fall to the bottom of the door unfortunately. Any ideas what may have broke and what my options are? Also how does the door panel come off?

That's pretty common now that the cars are older. You need to get a lock cyl repair kit. When replacing the broken parts, you will need to swap the keyways from the old lock cyl to the new one. There are screws around the perimiter of the door pannel, and a couple behind the handle. The window crank also needs to be removed.
