Joe_60 0 Posted August 7, 2009 See if anyone has a spare glass. You can just replace that then. Saves trying to bend the door. Or if you have AA cover then ring them and let them sort it out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fanjita 1 Posted August 7, 2009 Thanks Joe, I'm going to ring the AA now i think. Jim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fanjita 1 Posted August 7, 2009 Good luck mate. Hope its sorted with little hassle. Hi Joe, Thanks, just called an emergency locksmith who will sort it for £90 :( ....Apparently they're a complete pig to do, and they're deadlocked (???) which i didn't know. We did get a hold of the locking pin with a wire between the door and window and gave it a tug, which was resisting being pulled up so maybe this was the deadlocking. £90 for being stupid, it could be worse I suppose :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As mentioned before, pulling the door pin up had no effect, we got a hold of it with a wire down the front of the driver's window. It didn't budge, we knew we had it as the pin was moving a little, but it just wouldn't pull up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
