Crap...I think I locked my keys in my car...


Does the clothes hanger trick work on Camaro's? 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??

This is why I have 4 extra copies of my door key, one of which I keep in my wallet. The hanger trick will work but it will most likely mess up your window seal.

if you have a non power antenna, unscrew it and push it through the window from the end of the door. 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.

Through the window from the end of the door? You mean where the window is angled?

No, go from the back of the window. 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.

I've done the window trick as described (towards the back) 3 times now. It takes like 30 secs to open the door now. It's easy to snag the door unlock tab at that point.

The power one telescopes.

The no power one is long and strong enough to manually unlock the door.

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

98+? My 95 does that.. I've also done the method mentioned..gotta love having a car that is not only easy as hell to break into, but has all the tools needed already

. When you get it opened, go out and get keys made. I have 4 also, one on my truck key ring, one in my wallet, one on my regular key ring (obviously) and one in our misc key basket.
