last night I stopped my camaro to get something out the trunk with my engine running, my lights on and I closed my door and it locked. and my windows were up! my alarm auto. locks when I turn on the ignition. well I tried using a slim jim but couldnt open it so I had to call AAA they unlocked it about 30 sec with some air bag they put between the window and use a long pole of some sort to push open my auto lock button. thankfully I didnt run out of gas waiting! that was the first time this happened to me. my spare remote didnt work because the car was running. does anybody know how to unlock the door with a slim jim? thankfully I didnt scratch the glass also

 

I used a long stick to get the window bent enough to hold it with my hand then used the same stick to manually push the lock slider or whatever it's called. This was before i had my alarm, now I have a spare remote.

 

Put a hide a key in the front impact bumper. Wife and daughter has locked themself out a few times

 

Do what AAA did... use a plastic wedge instead of the airbag.

 

that happened with my old truck. it was gay. but it also happened while engine off in my t/a. I used to watch that tv series FRIENDS<that episode when they got a bunch of chop sticks and taped them together to poke the "ugly naked guy" they wanted to see if he was dead or alive. but anyways i did that took thirty minutes, i broke up like 9 plastic hangers and used the straight plastic bottoms taped together. works by press the button switch. yay.

 

I felt a little awesome when i locked my keys in my car at walmart saturday. I remembered how i got in it the last time, cept this time i used my antenna. I pried the window away a little with a screw driver and had someone hold it. Then I used the end of my antenna to push the handle on my t-top till it was unlocked. I felt a little cool .

 

That's why i keep spare keys in my wallet.

 

If i kept a spare key i wouldn't have gotten to feel like Macgyver for two seconds .

 

Me too. I've never needed it, but I know I would as soon as I didn't have it.

 

Yeah that happened to me once my driver side door handle broke off went threw the passenger side unlocked the driver door but didn't open it then locked my passenger door and shut it talk about a world of **** but got my driver door open in the weirdest possible way a snow scraper and a bow from a bow and arrow

 

man i guess i should consider myself lucky. My car has no exterior lock cylinders so i have no way to lock my doors from the outside. Thus i have no fear of ever locking my keys in. Not very safe but i am installing a Viper alarm with door poppers so i should be good for the summer.
