[DMCForum] Re: Help !!!!

That is some straight-up, serious MacGuyver type shit. Who in the hell
thought of this?!? If it came down to that, I'd use use a slim jim to
trip the door lock rod.

Not that this wouldn't work. It's just that, well, I'd call out a
locksmith if things were that complicated. Besides, my car came with
my door switches installed the other way, so I'd just be rolling the
windows up. All other DeLoreans have their switches installed upside
down to me...
