Re: [DML] Re: door trouble...

Corey,

Don't break the window!!  It took me 5 days to get
into my locked car, but it can be done.  (4 day 23
hours trying all kinds of things, all to no avail, and
1 hour of doing the right thing).  You'll need a
lawnmower battery, a super long metal coat hanger, and
a couple of small jumper wires.  Contact me off list
for the exact procedure.

Mike
