Locked your key in your Dai? Get in for free!

Have you locked your keys in your Daihatsu and can’t afford a locksmith to get back in the car for you?
Here is a simple vid I made to show how easy it is to get back in if this has happened to you.
It will work on most cars with a similar setup.
Please do not go breaking into other people’s cars as this was not the intention of the video.

All you need is some of that plastic strapping (packing tape) that can be found on a lot of large parcels and boxes etc

When I was a kid, growing up in PNG, the locals taught me how to get into a car using a mostly straightened out metal coat hanger. As with this method, it really only works with older cars. But, still it saved having to call RACQ a few times.
