Lol wait was that actually a logical idea?!?!

Cut hole in trunk lid and buy a new one and paint it to match lol it's the only way... Jk don't listen to me.

Pop off the roundel and hole saw through the trunk, open trunk, and stick the roundel back on. No one will ever know.

Until it rains and water goes into the cuts under the roundel and makes his trunk floor rust out like mine... If he cuts the trunk lid at all its gotta be replaced. He could get the door lock out at the cost of a new window and probably some cut fingers.

your best bet is going to be rolling the window up somehow.

I wasn't serious. Lol.

I already posted a solution: remove the power window switch, jump power and ground to the harness to wind up the window, and remove the door lock tumbler.

Or, tap into the harness and trigger the solenoids to unlock.

lol I was hoping so. Your idea is probably the best way with out breaking anything. Manual windows FTW

What year did they do away with the ability to manually wind the windows up manually? I thought you could pop off the plastic cover on the door card and use an allen wrench?

I think the same years as the face lift.

Have you guys ever tried to remove a door panel with the door closed? It's nearly impossible without ruining it.

In my experience, all of them have this ability. My 88 and a friend's 91 have the caps. You need to puncture the vapor barrier, but a wrench will definitely wind the window up.

But a door card is much easier/cheaper to replace than a trunk lid.

true unless he got an identical color from a scrap yard or forum member on the cheep.

I'm not saying make a hole anywhere but I'm sure there's a way to get this done.

Op try pulling up the door lock a bit, while holding it try to open the door. My car, even double locked, there would be enough play in the passenger side lock to still get the door open.

Will be home soon to check on that trunk lid lock idea.

why would the door have to be closed for removal? if the window is rolled down enough to block the lock cylinder then you can just reach in and unlock the door.
