[DML] Re: Locked out of car!! Keys inside. Anyway to get in???

["wayofcain" <wayofcain@xxxxxxxxx>]

Actually I have heard the same thing about hitting them in the back 
of the driverside wheel from a man that worked for DMC when they 
arrived in the US. 

He did something involving the doors when they came off of the ship. 
Anyway, He told me that it did work on the early ones, maybe the 
first 500 or so. 

He also said the early vins had a problem with their back glass 
busting if the doors were closed too hard or something, I should have 
paid more attention. I took all of his advice when purchasing mine, 
since he had so much involvement in the company, and got a later 81 
model.
