I agree with Mike that it is probably not a good idea to discuss ways of breaking in to a DeLorean on a public forum... But, in this specific case I was trying to enter a DeLorean with a broken door handle.. I HAD THE KEY, and it was required for the process to work... I do not feel this method will put any ones DeLorean at risk.. With that said, I will post my method below... and Allow Mike (or whoever is moderating) to remove this portion of the message if they feel it is giving something away; Because the release cable is part of the door handle assembly, I decided to remove the door handle form the outside. First, I cut the front hinge off the handle to get it out of the way (the back was already broken). Then I peeled away the rubber/metal filler behind the handle. With that gone, the heads of the bolts that hold the handle to the door are exposed. I chiseled the heads off, and the handle fell right out exposing the release cable. I THEN UNLOCKED THE DOOR WITH THE KEY, and was able to open the door by pulling the cable with vice grips. Again, this method only works for a broken door handle. If the door is locked, this method will not get you in to the car... But, I imagine my situation was unique in that I could not open EITHER door! There was a Homer Simpson "DOH!" moment in all of this, but that is a story for another time.. I can tell you that if you lock the keys in the car, removing the door handle will offer no advantage to "break in" to the car. --- dmc_5180 <dmc_5180@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > [MODERATOR NOTE: I know Marc Levy knows this, but > for the sake of everyone else, if the technique used > was a way to break into the car the reply should not > be sent to the DML.
