Made a real newb mistake....
. Thanks for all the help guys, from what I gathered, pulling the handle will pop the lock and if I can't get it that way, Ill try pulling the keys out of the ignition lol, might be too far away though.

That's when he uses the door key. He wanted to make a "copy" of one, which means he has one already. He can put the door key with his house keys and have the ignition key with the key fob, so just in case he leaves the ignition key in the car or the key fob or battery is dead, he can use the door key that's with his house keys that's on a separate ring.

THIS! I did this with my third gen when i locked the keys inside, broke the spatula part of a spatula leaving just a metal rod with a handle, bent the rod, pried open the window enough to get the rod in and opened the ttop latch. I used a spatula because a hanger was too weak to pop the latch.

I just thought of this. Don't our cars prevent the doors from locking if the key is in the ignition? In the winter I would warm mine up before going to work in the morning and the keyless entry and power lock switch would not lock the doors. I had to do it manually. Does that only apply if the car is running or if the ignition is in the "on" position?

Definitely try the T-Tops. If you take those off on a regular basis they may not be locked! If not, you can reach the manual door lock, and move it with a wire hanger. It will take many tries, and be frustrating, but it can be done. I once had a 1995 Chevrolet Corsica with very similar door locks and had to do this a few times.
