locked my keys in
wow i couldnt be more embarrassed and pissed off at myself. I locked my keys in my car and my spares are 60 miles away. i tried to use a coat hanger, but it was to flimsy to push the unlock button and too short to push the hatch release. anyone ever sucessfully broken into their own blazer?? tips please.

RE: locked my keys in
I don't know if this is BS or not, but for what it's worth: I got this in my email one day : 5 things you never knew your cell phone could do.
One of the things is to UNLOCK your car doors (if you have remote keyless entry). Anyway, here goes: Call someone at home on their cell phone with your cell phone, hold your cell phone about a foot from your car door and have the other person press the "unlock" button on the remote (holding the remote to the cell phone), the car door should unlock.
Please let us know if this actually works. I have not verified this info but the author of the e-mail swears it will work. Worth a try, I guess.

I did the exact same thing one time...took my sister to court 64 miles away and locked my keys in the blazer on top of the roof of a parking garage....I made a 90 degree bend in the top of my antenna and used that for leverage to unscrew the antenna....then lift up on the window belt molding and use the antenna like a slim jim...I had it open in less than 2 minutes!

thanks guys. I found a piece of iron in my buddys garage and managed to crack the top of the door enough to slide it in and push the unlock. by the way, the cell phone keyless entry thing does NOT work sad to say. cell phones dont pick up that kind of signal i guess.

RE: locked my keys in
I was going to post use a coat hanger. same idea.
I helped a guy at a grocery store parking lot. I pulledonthetop of the door away from the roof. He slid the hanger in and popped the lock. My finger tips remember that cold day.[:'(]
