Default Locked my keys inside

I just moved my girl to a flat spot to check oil and water before going out... Left the keys in and didnt drop the window like i usually do, and the auto lock did its thing. I'm not even really sure why it locked, as it doesnt usually.

Anyway, can someone please PM me the trick for getting in?

Call AAA or someone who can help you unlock your car.

There are other ways but I won't post it on the forum. If you can't call AAA or any roadside assistance PM me.

I know the way to get access into the car through the soft top that does not disfigure it but I wont tell you. I have two problems with your post.

One: If you leave your key/fob in the car it will NOT lock on you. The car can sense the key's chip to make sure it wont.

Two: If you pulled over to a flat, where is the car now? Still on the side of the road? Btw, you have 4 posts which is suspicious.

Call a lock smith and they'll get it open in 10 mins for around 65-80 dollars US. I advise no one to tell him if they know the secrete way in through the soft top.

No, it was at my house. Like i said, to check BEFORE going out.

Started it
reversed it into my drive way (to a flat spot)
Popped boot and bonnet
Got out
Checked fluids
Go to get in... Door was locked

Check how long I've been a member. I dont post, but I've lurked for a while. Or maybe its all some elaborate evil plan.. Ive been lurking for years to steal your car...


Honestly, the trick isnt even that amazing. With all the hush hush talk i was expecting something worse. Seriously, if someone wanted in, they could just cut a hole and get full access, they are not going to give shit about your roof.

Yep. I honeslty don't think it's even that big of a deal.

Handy if you lock your keys in, but that's about it.

My key was in the ignition too, so i couldnt just pull on it... I have my keys on a small flexible wire loop. I worked out i could twist the wire to pull it out horizontally, then it flung out and wedged under the door handle. lol. Took me 10mins to unwedge it. Then i couldnt fit my keys through the gap. Managed to hit the button with the wire to unlock it in the end.

The top was down, and he was worried about rain!

His blonde girlfriend was inside and getting worried!
