the coat anger trick will work best.


make a small U like said. go down behind and below the dorr handle. your trying to get ahold of the rod that goes to the lock tumbler. it will take some playing but you should be able to pop it in time.

Use a yard stick like the guy above side, just pull back the top right corner of the window and hit the lock latch, its easy as cake to break into these cars, I know because i've had to do it twice on mine.

No, don't use the bat! Never use the bat! Just go in through the tail pipe, works every time!

It's just hard as hell to get through the muffler and cats


Yeah - I'm in that kind of mood this morning

Well, that was an exciting thread to following...kind like watching "Gone in 60 Seconds". Glad you got back into your car, Street Demon.

FYI...that bat is universal...also works on other people's cars.

Just kidding...not suggesting you try this out.

Also, get a spare NOW, and don't keep it under the rear wheel fender...might as well roll down your window, unlock your doors, and place a nice cold beer for the fellow that steals your car.

just call the police. i did this to my car once whlie it was running and called the police. they came over with a slim jim. i told them they better be careful after a couple minutes of fiddling car was open. just tell them to take it easy cause i know sometimes they like to rip around in ther and just pull whatever feels right. which can probably lead to some not so good outcomes.
hope you get it solved.

Ahhh yes, bats are beautiful things, universal not only to multiple cars but to multiple windows. Just imagine calling your insurance company and telling them that you need a new windshield because you locked your keys in your car


Yes - I am still in the same mood as I was this morning.

If the car is well doccumented they may have the tags that originally came in the keys (they were in where the key ring goes) which you could send away to GM for with the code. Also I know for the Jeeps, all you need is a vin and the dealers can punch out a key for you using their magic book of vin-> key codes. Look into it!

if not with no key to the door locks... time to go scrounge in a junkyard for a set of tumblers with keys. probably a lot less $$ than getting one key made by a locksmith using your current tumbler.
