Need quick help. Hey guys anyone know how to open the 240sx (rps13) from the outside? I think i left my keys inside, and i dont have extras. Anyone done this before?

Who doesn't have extras?

I've done the same thing before

I had good luck with a wire coat hanger.

straighten it out and stick it between the glass and the weather stripping at the rear of the window. Then use the hook end, and a little slight bending of the hanger, to latch onto the lever to unlock it.

good luck, it also helps if you have a sunroof, then you can look thru that while you fiddle around with the coat hanger.

pull the window out so u can fit like a piece of wood like an inch thick in there this will make it a lot easier to move a coat hanger around.

id suggest getting an extra after this, and if all else fails, call AAA or someone thats good with a coat hanger or slimjim..

I've never had much luck with slim-jims...

But the coathanger between weatherstripping works.lol

i dunno but this reminds me of when my friend was locked out of his house and had to take a shit and he could get in the garage so he went in the garage got a 10lbs weight and threw it through the window if his door so he could get in to take a shit

Don't you think that if he could take the window out he wouldn't be asking how to unlock his doors from outside.
After locking my keys in the trunk I now have a spare somewhere on my car's body

You can wedge the window out about an inch and then just put a a piece of wood or something to hold the window there that way you can move the coat hanger around better. My dad has slimjim to get keys out and you put it in the door and it will wedge the door out about an inch that way you have room to work.

Yea sure pry it out an inch which isnt big enough for yuor arm and risk shattering the window which is what hes trying not to do...

orestes · #13 08-23-2005, 10:09 PM

LOL yeah its only the established technique for like 50 years for tow truck drivers. im betting you have never actually seen it done. its r e a llll yyyy easy.

monooxide · #14 08-23-2005, 10:23 PM

Didnt see the part that says "...that way you can move the coat hanger around better."

orestes · #15 08-23-2005, 10:50 PM

oh. yeah. lol my friends a tow truck driver and he bought a little handheld DVD player and says like half the time hes watching movies or sleeping getting paid by the hour. seems like it might be a cool job but he is always hella dirty so maybe not...like 15 something an hour starting out though which isnt bad.
