  Thanks in advance,
                            Eric

see if you can find someone with a slim-jim. perhaps a cop might have one, sometimes they do. all i know is around here there was one that sadly could not help me because he said "we're not allowed to carry em anymore" d'oh!!! maybe youll have better luck!

I've always had luck with carefully prying the top of the door away a bit and using a coat hanger to either hit the power lock button (if they work) or just make a loop in it and yank up on the door handle...

Prying out the top of the door with a slim/small flat bar and using a properly shaped metal yard stick works well too. Works even better when you lock your keys in a running car.











Don't ask how I know.

i dont use my door or truck key EVER.  usually the trunk key isnt even on the keyring b/c keyless, all i have to do is punch some buttons and i got both doors unlocked/locked and the trunk popped.  i have however locked myself out of my glovebox by locking it and the key falling out of my pocket making it a mad keysearch.  alls good tho.  i think you can get one of those systems that use the newer keybob or whatever that'll even pop the doors open for ya like your a celebrity...
