Pull the window out from the aftmost topmost corner and then have a small handed girl grab the unlock slide.

I can break into any f body in 10 seconds or less with this method.

Tried, no luck. Can't get a grip with my fingers, don't want to ruin the seal with a screwdriver. Plus, no small handed girls around. I do have access to wiring stuff and the hood is up.

if you got triple A, give them a call. if you want to play it safe, call a locksmith or just ask to borrow a slim jim.

Slim jim all the way.

You can do it the old fashioned way with a coat hanger also.

If you have your registration/title you can have your local dealer make you a new door key to unlock the door by using the Vin# (they can get the code from GM, as longs as the locks are all original)

This is the way to do it.

Except unlock the power door lock with a yardstick. It won't damage the car.

Do you have a 98?

My unlock button stops working after about 10 minutes. You can depress it and nothing will happen.

My 97 disables the power button when the alarm is armed. Im sure they all do. Is the alarm armed on your car?
Ive locked my keys in the car several time, even with the battery unhooked. I went to Lowes hardware, picked a flat piece of alumium and folded the end at a 90 degree angle about 1-2 inches. Pulled the passanger side window out a bit with a pry bar and was able to unlock the manual bar.

^^^ +1 its so damn easy. Just get your fingers in there and hold it back. If you dont lock your t-tops unlock it. push it up, then move it out of the way and then unlock it, much eaasier lol

Another thing you can do is pry the window out just enough to get some kind of shaft to reach the lock slide across the car to the other door. But getting a new key cut would be easier.

Do exactly as the other poster said. You really have to pull hard on the window towards you. I can barely get my hand in there to unlock the door. It's not painful, but not comfortable. I've done it many times and thought of how easy it would be to break into someones car! lol

If you happen to know a cop personally they can get into a car or I would call a locksmith and pay the thirty dollars
