I agree with Marfanman. I have done the same with mine. I would put sticky tape inside out on the end of the coathanger to grab a hold of the lock button (the "anti-theft" straight ones" as it was closer to where I was working and quicker.

since you r not experienced do not try a slimjim youcould eassily damage the linkages in your door.get a big screw driver and a coat hanger .use the screw driver to pry out on the top of your door and then bend the coat hanger and put it in the holee and use it to hit the power locks or just pull out on the inside handle.since it is a ford it will unlock automatically.if this isnt somethingyou think you can do call a local tow company the usually charge 35 to 50 to unlock your car for u

You slide the jim too down and try to catch the latching mechinism. However most newer cars are Slim Jim proof. Have fun day

i own a repair shop,and you slide the tool under the glass,and down towards the lock area you,ll feel the latch when you get on it then slightly lift it up,and it will unlock the door on it,,good luck,i hope this help,s.

dont try and do it, you will ruint he door because of the steel beams inside. take the VIN number to a local dealer and they will cut you a key to gain access for about $3
