you'll need a wedge to put between the glass and the door.
then get a stiff wire, it's fairly easy to find the door lock mechanism, just fish around and when it catches something pull up.

sometimes you have to double up the metal wire since the mechanism can be very stiff to operate.

I've done it about 3 times with various toyotas and hondas. took me about 30-45mins each time.

you can actually stick the hanger between the door and the car at the top. you need to use something to kinda pry back the top of the door and stick the hanger through. you can scratch your paint or rip the weatherstripping so be careful if you go this route.

Jimmy it from the passenger door. If you knock the rods off the mechanism in the passenger door you can still use the drivers door by key later on. just keep moving the wire around until you see the lock or handle move, then you know you're in the right place.
If you have power locks you may be able to hit the switch if you get between the top of the door and the body.
Good luck man, same sh!t happened to me last year. I put a copy of my key in my wallet after paying a locksmith 60$ to open it for me.

I was able to open the back window on the driver side about a centimeter, enough for me to put some string and a hanger through so I tied a knot arount the knob and pulled it up :bigok:


thanx for your help :hugglez:
