Doh! VW Roadside assistance had to save me....

[Derick]

I went to Subway for lunch across from SAIT and locked my keys in my car :angry: :mrscrewy: :( So I had to call VW roadside assistance to send a locksmith to come rescue me.
The most embarrasing part was there were some female students from SAIT that were checking out my car and I had to be like "duh, can I please borrow your cell phone?" (Yes, I left mine in the car too)

did you get thier numbers in the process?? How long did it take for them to come? My buddys GM truck roadside took them 20 minutes to get a locksmith to come to airdrie this summer.

How did you lock your keys in your car? I've tried for the fun of it... and I can't do it! lol

Haha! No I didn't get their numbers. My pimpin' game was suffering cuz I was so flustered:mrpimp: It took about 40min for the locksmith to arrive.

Peter, the keys were sitting on the car seat and I accidentaly pressed the lock-pin when I was shutting the door. Yeah I know, it was a total one-in-a-million chance that really defied the laws of physics and logic. Oh well.

[Fluidic Digital]

That's strange... my lockpin won't budge when the door's open -- to prevent something like this from happening.

What year is your car? Maybe this is a "new" feature. Anyways... glad you got everything sorted out. Oh... tell us how the locksmith got into your car... I heard these locks are just a ***** to pick.

Thanks.

My car is a 2002, and the pins can be pushed or pulled quite easily. To get into the car, the locksmith used two methods, the second one worked....

1) using two wedge shaped pieces slipped in between the front window and weather stripping created a small gap, where a long wire was used to try and manipulate the locking mechanism inside the door. This method failed big time.

2) The same wedges were used between the top of the door frame and the inner-weather stripping to creat a gap. The same wire was used to physically press the unlock button inside the car. Success!

definitley one in a million chance

Awww that's mad skill! Damn!

Well... good for you... but it probably cost you an arm and a leg...

Pressing the lock button is way easier than pulling up on the lock pin... we need the old-time security before power door locks!

Its quite difficult to lock yourself outta your car, I mean I tried it at home and it took some effort. Bad Luck I guess. My pins don't push down very easily, so I'm glad it'd be tough for me to lock myself out.

i tried today to push the pins down with the door open and they won't go..

I did the same tried to lock my keys in the xcar while i was detailing... the only way i found was too pop hatch then lock car then close hatch with keys inside..... And yes I had my spare set on me...
