Default Locked out of car

Well today the battery died in my car while the doors were locked and I don't have a key to the doors, I always use the remote, now I can't get in the car. Anyone know how to get the doors unlocked or open the hood from the outside of the car?

slide a wedge between the t-top and weatherstripping then unlock the door with a coat hanger or something. f-body's are ridiculously easy to break into

I would then get it fixed so it cant happen again lol

The batteries in the remotes go bad, can break it all together sometimes so it might not be a bad idea

I locked myself out of the car with it running the remote didnt let me back in. Had to break into my house to get the other set.

Sorry though, hope it works out ok.

T t-top method is your best bet, unless you have full coverage insurance, they can do lock out assistance.

Guys, he said the battery died on the car, not the remote. Getting a spare remote won't help.

you could do what I did...run a wire direct to the battery and bolt it to a plastic air deflector. I drilled a small hole and bolted the wire with a nut on top of the horizontal deflector under the passenger side headlight. You can only see the head of the bolt and that's it. Now I only have to clamp jumpers to the frame and the head of that bolt to power the locks.

That sounds like a good idea, if I have time this weekend I'm going to try it.

I got a lock smith to open the car, he had it in locked in 2 minutes or less.
