Help. Locked keys in boot :(

[Fletch_QLD]

We've been meaning to get a spare too...

So the missus just rang me - the kids have locked the keys in the boot - what do I do? I'm thinking go out and smash rear quarter glass?

Do you have a RACQ membership with roadside assist or something? Make it their problem.

I had mine sitting on the boot jamb in my old car and closed the boot - that was bloody frustrating because i could see them and touch them but wasn't able to get them or use them!

Is the car actually open:???

Easiest way is to get into the car itself.... I've broken into many a vn-vs for me an my mates especially my vq twice now!!! LoL

I just pry the top of the driver door open an use 2 coat hangers with hooks an pop the doorlock...

Cheers

Decided to sign up to RACQ road assist. $200 for 2yr membership or $88 callout plus additional charges to get into car. I have brought the kids home and left the wife waiting with the car.

I thought about popping the rear quarter glass (ie with a hammer) but a large crowded public place and the thought of that alarm going off...

Guess I should see about getting that spare key

Dont smash qaurter glass expensive
Almost get a new windscreen cheaper and easier fitted.

Impossible with a coathanger, Lock upright pass on interior side of skin and is not accessable.
Can try coat hanger hook locks but is gonna be messy with doorjambs and scratchs.

If i had to smash a window to do it, it would be a windscreen cause i know i could get it replaced and fitted same day under $250. It is a cost, but it will get around RACQ

As for alarm what model, FLASH?ie. Clubsport? only top range holdens, and most HSV's have audible alarm, unless it is aftermarket fitted, usually only immobilized and key access mech.

VXII Calais. Took RACQ guy 10minutes to get in (he reckons they are hard and it was his first VT/VX) Alarm went as soon as he unlocked it.

Funniest part was the boot release (ie in glovebox) is faulty - so the missus was madly trying to get the key out of the boot to switch off the alarm - she had to pull the middle rear seat forward and feel around in the dark boot for the key (she doesn't know about the pull down boot release inside the boot) beeep beep beeeep

smash the side window its actually cheaper than the q-panel, you don't want to drive with a smashed windscreen!
