Yeah... I've tried the coathanger and a long piece of bent steel - the lock is too far from the end of the window, not enough leverage.

I would rather the car run all night and replace the spark plugs than busting the window. Humurous, but still a last resort. I am correct in thinking that it's acceptable to idle for 24 hours, right? I know it's not necessarily good, but better than busting out a window, right?

I found a very short and thin fuel line just behind the fuel tank -fingers crossed.

two locksmiths can't get into a frameless window car? try to get past the seal at the rear vertical part of the windows. it is much easier there. a wedge (don't push in too far, small window with top set in groove doesn't flex much) and a doubled up coat hanger should enable you to hit the lock or window button. maybe get creative and put a hook in the end and try to pull door handle. good luck!

edit: just read all above comments that appeared. maybe put bends in part outside of window that you can use to give yourself leverage.

Get a strong axe and start chopping the roof off. What's the worst that could happen? You'll have a home made targa top.

lol

so many ways to get in your car..

1) use rock. Apply force with rock against window.

2) b*tchslap those two mechanics and get a competent one

3) wait for fuel to run out then...

4) buy another car. leave current Z on the road hoping someone else picks it up.

5) climb under car and cut big hole on bottom, and climb in through that hole.

Just put a garden hose in the exhaust and snake it thru your garage door! You will get very sleepy!
