Default Help!!! Locked out.

:o Don't ask...I have locked myself out of my 2006 C6 ragtop. I let the car sit for a couple of months and didn't start it up. I live in a snow hell hole called NY and when I went to start it this afternoon, the battery had just enough juice left to let me open the doors but then the doors locked and I cannot get inside to open the hood to charge the battery. Any way to get in to one of these cars in this situation? Thanks for any help.
Chuck

Use the emergency key in the slot above the rear license plate to open the trunk. Pull the drivers door ripcord on the left.

Use your key and insert into the keyhole just above the rear license plate.
Inside the trunk just behind left rear wheel well is a cable for the door. Pull that and then you have access to inside your car and then you can open your hood to recharge your battery.
I live in Iowa. Been there done that to. Good luck

Thanks, but that was kinda hard to get to as the doors were locked. Guess I need to keep it by the bed at night for easy reading. Thanks to the other folks who responded with a helpful solution.
