    So what route did you go with or are you sleeping at the office?

    Or take out your windsheild which would be easier than the back window.

    There are five wires running to the trunk lock. Do not short them together, your central locking module may fry. Briefly connect the Yellow/Black wire to ground.

    This makes the (large) assumption that central locking still works. Luckily, you can still get to the battery and fuse box by popping the hood with a screwdriver. If the yellow/black wire does not work, check battery voltage first. If it is good, check fuse 27, it is a 25A fuse. It is also shared with your radio for keep-alive memory so if it is popped, and pops right after another 25A fuse is inserted DO NOT put a bigger fuse in. (This assumes you dislike dash fires)

    If all that fails, there are two more options to consider. The rock as mentioned above, theres only a couple screws holding the side windows in, and they are easy to get. Or, if you are really against the whole broken glass thing, you can try removing the backlight glass by prying out the lock strip. EXTREME care must be taken after you get the lock strip out and you are prying the glass out, or else you will just break a harder to replace window after much more work.

    There is also a vac pump that you can try to compress while you short the wires.

    If all else fails, the side windows over the backseats are quite plentiful. Put a rock through one of them, and replace it later.

    Locked out of car, help!

    Both door tumbers ceased and I've been using the trunk to lock/unlock my car. I'm trying to leave work and my trunk lock isn't working anymore. The key turns but doesn't do anything. Luckily the trunk is unlocked and I can get inside. Unfortunately I don't have the bentley with me...

    Is there anyway to trigger the central locking from within inside my trunk to unlock my doors?

    THANKS! I need to get home...
