Hi Roger. I just bought a 72 corvette off of an addiction. Locked doors without knowing I didn't have a door key. Now I'm locked out with glad t tops. Could you share with me how to open my car without causing major damage? Thanks in advance!

Here's an option. Break the glass on the rear window.. then unlock the door. It worked for me 45 years ago. New glass cost $84.

Answering a post from over 8 years ago. Even though there’s been the occasional post since, maybe it’s time for a new thread.
