Yeah I'm an idiot. We know that much. I'm pretty much screwed when it comes to $$, so what's the easiest way to get in a 93 Camaro? No, insurance won't cover it...

 

I have used a coat hanger on other cars but it might be tough with these cars. I went to the deal gave them $5 and they made me a key. All I needed was the vin and proof of ownership. I work there otherwise it was $20.

 

Grab the top of the window and pull it out. Stick your hand down in there and unlock the door. If your arm is too big find someone who has small arms. The windows give a whole lot, its really easy to break into these cars.

 

I have had dealerships make me keys before. It was $12 when my sister locked her keys in her car. Like was said before you just need VIN and proof of ownership(title or registration).

 

Awesome suggestions, thanks guys. I'm going to try and pull that window back, I knew it was flimsy but I didn't think was that flimsy. If not, I'll try the dealership. Thanks.

 

I did this on Saturday after I had a "Doh!" moment by pulling the window back with my fingers and using a stick I broke off a tree in the parking lot. I had to manually slide the lock handle since the battery had died on me. It took about three minutes to get the right angle.

 

A slim jim opens it up in about 15 seconds. Slide it down between the rubber molding and the window, hook the rod for the lock button, and pop it.

 

I locked my keys in the car 100 miles from home with no wallet and no cellphone. Had no tools. I took off the passenger wiperblade and used the metal insert in the blade to slim jim the car. Took about 1/2 hour, but i got it. it helped that I had the doorr panels off several times and could picture the internal working of the lock rod. Swear that this is true!!

 

remind me to keep my cars away from you...

I normally use a doorstop, slide it into the window then attempt to hit the power button "unlock" with a heavy duty hanger or unlock kit. If you don't have power options make a really small L on the tip of a THICK hanger and move the lock button.

 

Does anyone still have the plastic "card" with the fold-out spare plastic key on it..... they came with the cars when they were new. I haven't seen mine in about 5 years.

 

I think I saw that episode of Macgyver.

 

Yea, I figured out the window trick when I locked the keys in my car one morning before church with it running , I used a yardstick though. Needless to say, I needed to go to my original destination after that to apologize for some choice language!

 

For that long, skinny thing you need to poke into the window opening, many people unscrew the antenna and use it.

 

I've done this several times. I'm glad I have long arms!

Bonus points for originality.

That's what I get for buying used cars... I didn't even know the Camaros had these! My grandma has one for her 01 Saturn.

I think I used mine for it before. Works rather well!

 

I've still got mine, except it's metal and slides into a thin plastic case. The whole works are so thin I can carry it in my wallet. The key looks funny compared to the actual key, but it works. l
