You call Triple-A at 1-800-222-4357 and give 'em your membership number and wait about 45 minutes until the locksmith comes...

:rolleyes: Jim

amusingly enough i called the dealership. and they said i would have to bring in proof of ownership and the key. :lol: so then i said i dont have the key and he said they can order it from sweden but itll take 5 business days and prolly a decent chunk of change for a key. but besides all that they need proof of ownership and the registration is in the car and the title is somewhere in the midst of the ct dmv.

and slim jiming these doors dont seem to work at all

Well hopefully by now your into your auto .... but if not ... having a friend who has a history of B and E might be a good thing at the moment ... other than popping a window and replacing it ( choose one you know you can afford to put in ) Having a good friend who is a lock smith or a friend who works for a AAA outfit are your options .... I worked a bit evenings and weekends for a shop and you need a book to go with all the pieces that come in those bags to get into the locked cars .... seems too many "helpful " people were helping themselves to the auto of there choice so the auto makers learned or were instructed by the insurance industry to install blocking plates so the slim jim became obsolete ..... well at least on the newer models... hence the recovery guys now have to have one of those bags with the goofy bent rods and hopefuly a book to tell which ones to try first rather than pulling the insides of the door apart ... locking mechanism .... speaker wiring .... what have you ....

Any ways best of luck .
