ok, my passenger side lock never worked from the outside. Then, earlier today, the driver side lock stopped working. I put the key in, and it won't turn. So I went in through the hatch (this was at lunch time). Now, as I was about to go home, the ******* hatch lock won't unlock!!! I have 2 keys for my car, both with me right now. I've tried both keys, in all 3 locks, and flipped both keys, and wiggled in and out, and up and down, and the piece of **** won't unlock.



you know I'm not trying to steal a car here. I'm hungry, sleepy, and pissed off! how can I get in this thing? can I reach the hatch latch cable from under the fender or something?

 

I unlocked mine with a metal wire through the sunroof

 

my sunroof is closed, and I have no metal wire

and I've got negative $$$ to pay pop-a-lock

 

The linkage is right behind the door handle. Pull off the black molding piece. Fashion up a coat hanger or something similar and try to unlatch it. Good luck!

 

do you mean pull off the black ring around the lock itself?

 

uh.. maybe you can get some WD 40 or other spray lube.. Sometimes the tumblers in the cylinder get stuck..

 

available substances:

boric acid

windex

foaming desk cleaner

non-dairy powdered coffee creamer

a very small amount of dish soap

 

ok, I know I've got some key hole lube at home. I'm having my wife look for it, and she's going to come get me.

damn car

 

**** it Just poison yourself with all that and End it all.. haha Just kidding. uh Breaking a window would be dumb cuz a Locksmith is cheaper.. Is there a Janitor where you work? Maybe he has some supplies.. if not try the key, but wiggle it a bit and try unlocking the car with the key not all the way in.. FOR GODS SAKE DO NOT BREAK THE KEY IN THE LOCK>>

 

No, the molding on the bottom of the window. Black trim piece, over a foot long.
