Pm set with ideas.
-
cheers!
any other ideas
-
Are you with the AA or RAC.
-
did this two weeks ago my self dude. by any chance she d-wipered the rear? if so you can get in easy if the hole aint been smoothed over luckly for me mine was d-wipered. or do you have break down cover as aa will come out and try get into your car for you. :smiley:
-
she is in aa but is impatient!
it is dewipered from factory - its a cabrio

oh ok sorry mate. think her best bet is aa they use this tool that will unlock your car its like a posh wire coat hanger lol this didn't work on my car tho as it has dead lock, so they then tryed to lift rear seat using same tool so they could fish keys from boot failed again in the end i surgested him having ago at me d-wipered hole and he got in but this was all on a normal golf not cabrio. hope you get it sorted mate and if she with aa its free they wont charge her :cool:
-
cheers for all the help guys, she's called the aa
-
well the aa got the keys out of the boot.....by forcing the lock with a screwdriver :sad:
-
That a bit bad! Did it damage the lock?
-
oh yes! it is kippered it. still opens and closes but now wont lock. i need to fix the door handles ( they dont lock either! ) then hopefully it will work off the central locking again
-
Did you sign a disclaimer allowing the AA bloke to damage your car?? If not then he legally could not damage the car and the AA would have to replace the lock. Whilst with Green Flag I used to have to get customers to sign a disclaimer to get the keys out of a car even if I was not damaging it. You have to sign for them to enter the car at all. Cheers Deano
-
cheers deano. she did sign. to be fair even if she didnt i wouldnt want to do that to the aa man - he tried allsorts before resorting to breaking the lock.
it highlighted to me just how easy it is to break into a car though! theres really no point locking them. if a thief decides he wants to be in it just causes more expense in the long run!
-
Does the motor have electric windows or manual??? Deano
-
electric. what are you thinking?
-
Was just thinking mate that if it had manual windows you can get in by using the lock out kit bars to unwind the handle. Takes some time but can be done. Cheers Deano
-
Was it just the lock that got damaged ? Didn't damage the paint round it did it ?
-
just the lock, no paint damage.
deano, the front doors were open (handles broken so wont lock anyway at the minute - new handles are off on tonight)
the problem is in the cabrio there is no way of getting into the boot from inside the car save for destroying the rear seat. the back of the seat flips down from a toggle in the boot and you cant get the base of thes seat out to undo any bolts with the upper part in the way
