The battery is dead on my 2008 Z06. Any help to get in the car?

Should have a key inside the top of you key fab. Pull it out from the top and look under your lic plate area. Put the key in that hidden lock and it will open your trunk area. Look to your left and there should be a black plastic pull to open your door. I think that's it.

- If you have the key available, you can use it to open the trunk:




- Once you open the trunk, you can pull the door release handle located on the left side of the trunk:





- Finally, after you open the door, you can pull the hood release and charge your battery.

you need to turn the key in the lock. If it is hard to turn the key, press down on the rear of the hatch and it should release pressure of the hatch latch mechanism making it easier to turn the key
