interesting way to get into a locked vehicle.

I will have to keep that in mind. I am curious if this impacts the workings of the window negativity in any way.

About 10 years ago, I bought a GMC Canyon, the very first day my grandaughter who was 4, locked my keys inside the truck. I could not believe it. We were an hour from home. I called AAA and they sent out help.
Sometime later the guy shows up and had what looked like a blood pressure cuff. And I will use this analogy to help explain what he did. He pressed the arm band part very flat and wiggled it in between the window and truck frame. Then started pumping the bulb and the band expanded enough for the guy to work in a tool and unlock the truck.

I am not sure the old slim jims work anymore on the electric locks like they did when I started driving.

How's the new year treating you all?

Have any of you started the year with some awesome finds?

My excitement this far has been a walk along the river (you can zoom in for detail)

I HIGHLY doubt this method works. Sure looks like someone is pushing the window button the way it moves so fast. Even looks like he was caught off guard when it did go down, and kept moving after he stoped pulling on the tape. As a mechanic, I've replaced many a window regulator and it's near impossible to get the window to move when they have failed. Not all the time but most of the time they are stuck.
