a medium sized hammer contacting that glass at a high rate of speed aughta do the trick!

but in all seriousness. is it a electric pull down type or the manual? i assume its the manual tupe. in which case you might have to call a locksmith OR risk damaging something

I know i thought of that but it is an electronic pulldown. is there a way that i can put power to the lock somehow and open it or take off the plastic around it and hit a lever there has to be a way instead of anger management.

Leaning over the seat with a screwdriver works if there is no plastic panel. But if you think you left your key in there why can you fold the rear seat down and crawl in?

OOPS, My bad. By the time I finished reading I thought I had seen lid.
Then if a key is sitting on the lip that is easy. If its on the edge of the plastis inside then he should still be able to climb in the back and fish with a screw driver or something flat. If its on the metal outside the rubber seal then he should be able to see it on the sides or if its above the tail lights fish it out from there with a bent coat hanger or flush with water.

Oh and 350RS. You are starting to sound like ScottD!

Ya know after seeing the recent pic ScottD posted doing the burnout I undestand why the hammer is his favorite tool, The harley tool!
