uhhhh hes english in the strictist sense. Umm I would say get someone from a shop or anyone you know who can break into cars, I dont know what delocked means so im not sure if that helps! and i guess once you get in the car popping the hood will be easy.<p>[ June 14, 2003: Message edited by: sureshiit ]</p>

i think he shaved all his locks off and because his battery is dead he cant unlock his doors. if you can get under the car you may be able to get your hand up there but i've never tried so i dunno

you need a 'slim jim' to pop open the doors.
an auto club (or car thief) should have one handy.

check with a local locksmith.. most of them offer services to open doors. its even in the phone book. You should be able to activate the relase device for the hood from underneath the car.. Would be a pain in the butt if you dont know what your doing

you didn't install a backup release or anything for your shaved doors? I thought that was a must have for anyone w/ a shaved door just b/c of this very reason.
