try a coat hanger and be patient. if that fails call a locksmith. i haven't had much luck with coathangers. i've done it before but it took forever.

break nothing. Many police departments will assist is reentering a locked vehicle. They use a air bladder that they slip between the door and frame and inflates to widen the gap. they they reach inside and unlock the door with a rod.

 

IF you must break a window, break one that moves... not one that will have to be glued in place. thats to say door glass. It is much easier to replace a moving window rather than the rear corner glass, which may still not be enough to get you inside.

Go for the Hanger. I've used a hanger many a time to get into a car. These may be harder because the lock goes sideways, all the ones I've done are the pull up and down locks so I dunno

[Psych0matt]

i have a spare key on the car, and i usually just don't lock the keys in there in the first place :-D

[rjtiminskygtp]

Yeah, I keep a spare in my wallet and a spare on a magnet box on my truck

Take proof of ownership w/ your VIN number listed to a local GM dealer and have them cut you a new set of keys. I forget what they charge, but it isn't very much on our old style keys...

[rjtiminskygtp]

Or once you get into the car, take that one key and go get keys cut at a hardware store for a lot cheaper

Coat hanger to hit the power unlock button, which should be easy on a GP. If you need something more rigid, use a fixed mast antenna.

[MonteCarloChick]

If you or someone you know has AAA they'll open it for free

[Stevo]

Call the fire department.

So, if you dont like radio......you've killed two birds with one stone!

[Brian P]

[Euro]

well first off HAHA...ive done this once. and it was at a rest in Northern Indiana an hour and a half away from home(coming home from the Michigan w meet last june actually)

 

i had to call a tow truck and he used a wedge on the top of the door, then stuck a long pole to move the lock to unlock. TOok him an hour to get there, but like 10 seconds to get the door unlocked. $35 later

Get a buddy and try to wedge the door open a little bit, and then get a coat hanger or attenna. That's what Ken and I did when we locked the key's in the Cutlass.

[89GP_SE]

That happened to my dad in his old gp and it didnt have power locks. We wedged open the passenger door a little, then twisted together about 2 or 3 coat hangers, then fished his keys out. It was quite hilarious

[intern8tion9l]

i've been successful with the hangar to push the lock button AND the antenna to manually pull it up when power was disconnected

[GutlessSupreme]

A lot of police and fire departments won't help unless there's a child locked inside or something.

 

Call AAA or a tow company.

[STE1991GrandPrix]

I called my grandfather this morning, and he told me he had AAA. We have the keys out now... I don't have the power locks its just the LE model... manual everything, shit i'm suprised the winshield wipers aren't manual .

[rjtiminskygtp]

hahaha...winshield wipers lol

No go get a bunch of spares cut at a hardware store!

[AWeb80]

i have a little plastic key that i keep in my wallet....came w/ the car....

[rjtiminskygtp]

Yeah, gotta have the spare keys...gotta love

[supreme_style21]

Late response, you've already got the keys out, but just thought I'd ad that if it doesn't work to hit the lock button with a wire, I've had good luck with popping the handle on the pillar, undoing the lock rod and unlocking the car. Costs you a 25 dollar door handle, but that beats the 45 dollar locksmith charge.

[supreme_style21]

But he has a 4 door...

 

Dah yeah brain fart. I saw STE and thought 2 door for some reason. But the principle should still work on a sedan.. it's a cheap replacement, but there are much easier ways around it.

Yeah, I've got a blank one of those. I would love to find out where I get one cut for my car!!!
