Depending how tight your side windows are, this might work. Try pulling down the window from the outside, and get something to go between the glass and t-top rubber. maybe you can force open the latch and unlock the t-top and it will come off.
Just a thought.

You should be able to slim jim it somehow. Near the interior lock **** would be my first area to try. I once ran to hardware store and gott some banding they had on a pallet and made my own slim jim with a pair of tin snips off their shelf. :) It was to use on a cherokee but should work for the vet

I think the t-tops are the easiest way in.
Also if you have insurance they might pay for a locksmith. :cheers:

This will be no help today..... But in the future it will.
You mentioned AAA, if you are a member you can go to an office and they will make a credit card key (plastic key cut inside a plastic card) I have one for every one of my cars, and have on occasion had to use it.
Hope you get in with no damage. :eek:

Call AAA back & tell them to send a locksmith. It's part of minimum standards each Club must provide. If they give you a hard time ask for a supervisor. After that email me & I'l give you a couple phone #'s. Insider info ;)

Re: HELP! reply quickly please.... (GeneralGrant)
Thanks to everyone that replied. The t-top thing was a lil more risky than i wanted to try i thought the glass might break. And thank god for triple A. Too bad the tow truck guy they sent out couldnt figure it out after an hour! then he turns to me and and goes this is hard why couldnt u just own a c5. theyre easy he tells me. (if u wanna buy me a c5 go ahead i wont complain) any way AAA called a locksmith who took another 45 minutes to figure out the wedge in the window rutine the other guy tries isnt gonna work, and to just pick the lock which took minutes... but thanks anyway guys
