So I'm stupid and locked myself out. 4° outside. Having someone w/ a coat hangar come. Any idea where the sweet spot is to break into my own jeep? '97 power everything.

Edit : 4dr

 

If you're careful, you might be able to pop one of the rear side windows out. If not, you'll need a new window. I always get one of the cheap keys made (that'll open the door) and wire it up under the vehicle somewhere. Or keep an extra in your wallet.

 

Pop-a-lok. Worth every penny

 

Thanks, the guy was a tow truck driver and had this wierd blood pressure type thing for car doors, he got it unlocked. I definitely need to get another key made for if/when this happens in the future. Thanks for the responses.

 

Could you please elaborate? Blood pressure type thing to open the door?

 

That's what pop a locks use. Typically they use a wedge to pry open the door at the top, stick the bladder in there, pump it up to create a wider space, then stick a bendable bar type thing in to either pull the handle or hit the lock switch.
Be glad that you know nothing of this, I am too well aware.

 

I bought one just to have. I paid a tow 50$ just to stick that in my jeep to get it open. 35$ now... Much cheaper in the end

 

Hmmm, I never thought about getting one, I always assumed one would have to have some kind of locksmith license or something.

 

I used a medical one. Get it at walgreens. As long as your not breaking into someone else's car you should be fine.

 

Spare key in your wallet or mounted to the vehicle is much easier...
I can't imagine any thief taking the time to search the underbody for a spare key. That's why criminals are dumb.

 

A medical one what? I don't have a medical license. I do have an expired teacher's license if that'll work!
I would like one not for myself but just to help others like OP.

Edit: I am talking about the whole kit.

 

If you want to keep something in your car to help others, go buy a slim jim. Advance Auto carries them. Around $9 or so.

 

A medical blood pressure cuff.

 

I realized that after I posted, ha! I did look up the entire kit and they get a little pricy.
