Where you stick it inbetween the window and the bottom weather stripping and try to hook it around the lock bar thing? I had to do that with Caprice's all the time at my old job, but does that work with Camaro's? Any other recommended methods?? Registered User

Seent his trick work many a time. It was shown to me and a few others at a Fbody track meet when a buddy locked his keys in his car at the track. Registered User Thread Starter

You ought to be able to actually pry the window out a fraction of an inch and stick something in there, preferably with a hook on the end (ie: fashion a coat hanger with a 90 degree turn in it). Then it's just a battle of time to snag the lock/door handle. Registered User Thread Starter

What i did on mine. Not sure what year you have...but, hitting the unlock button wont work... the 1998 and newer cars have a body control module....which disables ALL power to the car untill either the door is opened or the unlock button on the car is pressed. Dont believe me? go roll your windows down.......let the car sit for 15+ mins, after you lock it with the remote.... then press the unlock button from the inside, wont do anything Registered User
