Default I Locked myself out!

I went to grab something out of the trunk, popped the trunk button, and I must have set the keys down inside. I thought they were on me and closed the trunklid. Doors are locked, and my spare key is 350 miles away.

I know some of you sneaky fools have been able to open the soft top with it shut and do all sorts of things. If you know how i can get in without having to use a slim jim, or hanger, please reply or PM me. AHHHH

No need to break a window. It's easy to pull the top of the window out far enough to get a coathanger in there and pull the lock switch.

(It's not like this is some secret -- it's pretty much true for all convertibles. And real theives usually just slash the top....)

Can't get the coat hanger in without some forcing that may result in a broken window, torn rubber seal, or messed up tint job.

Ah, tint job. Oh well, sucks to be you. Guess you need to call a pro. Window can take more forcing than you might think, though.

I've done that before. Sux. AAA or locksmith for $50.

Coat hanger by the rear edge of the window to grab the "lock/unlock" button. Hopefully you didn't lock your glovebox.

No DIY break into my car stuff allowed here.

You already know your options. None are cheap, easy or free.
