    Locked my keys in my coupe during keyless entry install. Best way to break in?

    I'm an idiot. As I finished up installing my German Engineering keyless entry system, I was eager to try it out. Being all caught up in the moment, I closed my doors and tried it out. It locked, but then wouldn't unlock. Now my phone and only key to the car are locked inside while I'm outside with nothing but a useless blank key fob. Is there a good way to "break in" without damaging anything? I feel so stupid.

    Is the trunk open and you have a ski pass? I have gone through mine before but you have to be flexible and pretty skinny. Call AAA or the police. They will open it for you for free and you might make a friend. errr

        That's what I ended up doing. Hooked the keys and had to pry them out basically. I put a little dent in my outer pillar metal area but that will be fixed when I repaint the car. All is settled and I figured out why it wasn't unlocking. Thanks for the input

                Pop out the little connector piece at the base of your windshield and peel the center strip out of the seal. Spray a bit of silicone lubricant around the entire slot where the glass sits in the seal, hook one corner of the windshield and gently work your way around the whole windshield applying GENTLE, EVEN lifting force. Once the top and both sides have slid out of the seal, slide the windshield upwards towards the roof with both hands and set it down somewhere safe. Voila, access to interior with zero damage and relatively little effort.

                  Should have been a E30 in it, we agree.
