    if you hav to rip off your gril, then underneith you should be able to get hold of cable or if there is no cable left, get a screwdriver and jimmy the latch back, do a search there is heaps on it

    So it will only work if you get your mates at about 3? Is that 3am or 3pm mate? Man some people should go back to school and learn a little.
