    How can I break into my own car without any keys without busting the window? It's a two door and its currently running in my garage with none of the windows or sunroof cracked.

    I guess it thought it would be funny to lock itself.

    well id use my spare set of keys to get in, but i guess your one of them guys who lives on the edge with only one set of keys........


    if you got AAA call them, they will break into your car with no damage. or a auto lock smith can do it also.

    any thing else you do will cause damage to the car body, or the window trim.

    if you seal off the tail pipes, the car should stall out so your not wasting gas waiting for the man to beak in.

    unless you can pop the hood from under the car and pull the fuel fuse or choke off the intake to stall it, then pull the battery to save that from going dead.

    At least it is in your garage running, and not in the middle of the road like what happened to me once.

    I bought the car and the guy didnt give me keys, I thought he did but I guess not. I heard that you could use other grand prix keys on it to open the doors but I just tried it with the three other sets that I have and none of them worked. I don't have AAA but I have a reimbursable tow truck program from state farm lol

    Does it have power locks? Get something between the window or door frame and weatherstrip. Carefully wedge something in between to create a small gap there. Use something long to hit the power lock switch and unlock the doors. I have done this many times for people who locked their keys in their car and it works every time.

    I've had to use this method in the past as well. Just be careful how far you're pulling the window frame back

    This! I've used this trick quite a few times. To OP go spend a few bucks and make another copy of that key after you get this resolved to avoid this problem down the road

    ^^ any hardware store can still make a key from a "generic" blank that will unlock the door. It wont start the car, but can be hidden somewhere and only costs a few bucks

    I wish all car companies did this...had a ford that came with a plastic credit card that had a key cut into it. fold the key out for use and released it goes back into shape. kept in my wallet...helped out of lockouts on multiple occasions.

    I have since bought a lockout kit but its never with you when you need it.

    I ended up doing this.

    Took a screwdriver wrapped in a microfiber and the antenna off of my camaro. While I wedged the door open my buddy stuck it through and rolled down the window because it was easier to hit than the lock button.

    Definitely going to go get a spare made for the blue gtp and the black gtp when I have the time....maybe tomorrow after work.

    If the door frame seems bent to far out from this, it can be fixed easily. I can type it out. Just let me know if you need it.

    When I was in high school I locked my keys in the GP. I had only had it a couple weeks at this point so no spare yet. Didn't know what to do, asked my auto service teacher to break in to my car for me. All he had was a coat hanger, scratched the **** out of the door frame but I didn't care, ironically it was already scratched up.

    We ended up not being able to unlock it because of the stupid rounded door lock button in the 97-03. Had to call a locksmith and was in the school parking lot until 4 (school gets out at 2:40).

    Got spare keys made the next day.

    Everything on the car is ok except for a tiny spot where I took a little paint off from putting the screwdriver in without wrapping it in the microfiber.

    On the other hand though my sisters impala has the door frame all bent up from when some of her hoodrat friends tried to help her get her keys back. lol

    That's not a trick, that's something we totally forget about when we can't be bothered because we need to do something really quick. lol

    But really how is this happening anyway, are the doors just locking themselves?
