do the old hanger down the window trick. Make a "U" at the end and pull things you find until POP the door unlocks. My Son's mother use to do this with our 94 z28 all the time until I made 5 sets of keys lol.

power locks? Gently pull the window out and hit the pwr lock with a yardstick.

Smash your window.

Find an unsavory individual who knows how to use a slimjim.

Call a locksmith.

Always mess with the pasenger side door

oh yeah, and get a spare key made.....

You just kind of have to make a u shape and play around with that thing in the door until you find something, If you do have power locks, pull the window away from the weather stripping and put something in there to hit your power door lock button.

lol ive had some experience on this subject, first time i was at school and lucky they had a 3 foot long 1/4inch rod with a right angle at the end....it worked like magic....just pull the passenger side window out from the molding and slide it down in and flick the latch. Second time i was at my friends house and they had a heavier hanger that worked well in the same way. you have to make sure it is sturdy enough to torque the latch over.

ps-first time it took me 5 min, the second like 30

I still like my baseball bat suggestion, it works every time I had my keys locked in my car in the staging lanes at the drag strip(dont ask). Luckily the window was cracked a bit and found a piece of welding rod. You need to use something sturdy like a stick or a pole or something. By the way dont waste your time going for the button cuz power shuts off to it after a few minutes of having the ignition off. Go for the manual door lock, your only shot unless you want to go suggestion 1

just pull on the window enough to get room to work, dont be afraid to pull hard on it. I was kidding about breaking the windows. The button aint gonna work you must go for the manual latch.
