get your Vin number and take it to a gm dealer and have them cut you a door key

**AF1Strider** · 12-23-2006, 07:25 PM

ill prob will.. but dealership is closed at 9 pm..

Either wait or pay the $50. The last thing you want to do is f- up your locking mechanism. Miss with a Slim-Jim and it'll take a lot more than $50 to fix it.

metal clothes hanger stretched out and hook the end of it, come in from the door glass on the side closest to the rear of the car, preferable have some1 on the other side of the car looking into the window to tell u where to put the clothes hanger at and pull. Done this too many times to count but it really helps with the ladies, they love u when you unlock their car

had to do that once in my 96 t/a, took to have the oil changed and left the keys in it and the mechanic locked the damn door! they offered to pay to have it unlocked but I was having my oil changed on my lunch so didnt have time to wait. just used the ole hanger and hooked the door handle and pulled. I dont think that will work on later models though, never had to try it on my 99. I guess you could try to push the locking mechanism forward to the unlock position but I would think the hanger would bend before you got it unlocked.

easy.. pull the window from the top. 3rd gens are worse than the 4th gens, but you can pull the window from the top and slide your arm in and unlock it and open it at the same time while your arm is in it.

If the window is up you should be able to flex it out enough to stick your arm in. Might use some help.

Just pry your fingers between the t-top and/or the side and the glass. Careful not to use any tool that focus's a pry point in one spot on the glass. Could possibly break the glass if too much pressure is placed on one sharp spot. But these windows are really really hard. I doubt it would break. Someone tried breaking into my car once and failed. And the glass didnt break.

I was shocked at how easy these cars are to break into back when I was 19. It felt like a violation. I locked my keys in my car while me and some friends were out cruising in Tulsa. And they "somehow" knew about the window trick. So while I covered my eyes, they pulled my window and stuck their arm in and BAM.. was in it in less that a minute.

almost any car that doesnt have a metal trim around the window is easy to break into.

Thx now I hope no one tries to steal my car lol

The way i saw AAA do it was they took a wedge and put it in the back of the window and pushed it out about a 1/2 inch. Then they took a metal stick and pushed the lock slider forward. Yeah it only took them less than 2 minutes to break in.

So how far did you have to pry the window open? I dont know about you, but my arm would not fit in there and I aint that big!!!

**Chad97z** · 12-28-2006, 04:03 AM

just barely enough to fit your arm in. It will be tight.. and it might hurt a bit, but you're going to have to just pull hard enough to slide your arm in.
