1. Using a Shoelace:
- Find a sturdy shoelace or a piece of string, approximately 2 feet long.
- Make a slipknot at one end of the shoelace and tighten it.
- Insert the knotted shoelace between the weather stripping and the window glass on the passenger side, towards the front of the door.
-Slide the shoelace towards the lock button.
- Once the knot is near the lock button, try to hook it around the button.
- Once hooked, pull the shoelace to lift the lock button and unlock the door.
2. Slim Jim Method:
- Purchase a "slim jim" tool from a hardware store or online.
- Insert the slim jim between the weather stripping and the window glass, similar to the shoelace method.
- Once inserted, gently push and guide the slim jim towards the lock mechanism.
- Try to hook the lock mechanism with the slim jim and pull it up to unlock the door.
3. Coat Hanger Method:
- Straighten a sturdy metal coat hanger.
- Create a small hook at one end of the coat hanger.
- Insert the hooked end between the weather stripping and the window glass.
- Use the hook to press the lock button and unlock the door.
4. Inflatable Wedge:
- You can use an inflatable wedge to create a gap between the door frame and the door.
- Insert the wedge into the gap and inflate it to create enough space to insert a rod or a long object to press the lock button.
5. Call a Locksmith:
- If none of these methods work or you are uncomfortable attempting them, it's best to contact a professional automotive locksmith. They have specialized tools and skills to unlock your vehicle without causing any damage.
Note: It's important to be cautious when attempting these methods, as you might damage the weather stripping or the door if not done carefully. If you feel unsure, consider calling a professional locksmith to avoid potential issues.
