ok, my passenger side lock never worked from the outside. Then, earlier today, the driver side lock stopped working. I put the key in, and it won't turn. So I went in through the hatch (this was at lunch time). Now, as I was about to go home, the ******* hatch lock won't unlock!!! I have 2 keys for my car, both with me right now. I've tried both keys, in all 3 locks, and flipped both keys, and wiggled in and out, and up and down, and the piece of **** won't unlock.



you know I'm not trying to steal a car here. I'm hungry, sleepy, and pissed off! how can I get in this thing? can I reach the hatch latch cable from under the fender or something?

I unlocked mine with a metal wire through the sunroof

Baldy

my sunroof is closed, and I have no metal wire

and I've got negative $$$ to pay pop-a-lock

The linkage is right behind the door handle. Pull off the black molding piece. Fashion up a coat hanger or something similar and try to unlatch it. Good luck!

Baldy

do you mean pull off the black ring around the lock itself?

**** it Just poison yourself with all that and End it all.. haha Just kidding. uh Breaking a window would be dumb cuz a Locksmith is cheaper.. Is there a Janitor where you work? Maybe he has some supplies.. if not try the key, but wiggle it a bit and try unlocking the car with the key not all the way in.. FOR GODS SAKE DO NOT BREAK THE KEY IN THE LOCK>>

No, the molding on the bottom of the window. Black trim piece, over a foot long.
