This is a vert, that will get you in trunk but not car. Just jack up the front of car and hook the positive battery charger cable to the power terminal on the starter and the negative cable clamp to the frame. Then press the unlock button on your fob.

He did use the key. That's how he was able to pull the door release cable.

If you can get in the trunk you can get in the car. That's where the door release cable is.
I think he just has to pull harder on the door when the latch releases so the window will clear the weather strip on the roof.

Also might help to have a second person pull on the door while he pulls the release.
