[Jay Manek]

Just keepin it real y'all.... lol

Seriously, I had to do this a couple of times, and its exactly what those breakdown service guys do... they use an airbag type thing to keep the window or door ajar... surprisingly easy!

Many Thanks & Regards

  Im not sure if my message got through last night but dont bother wasting time with all this, just get a long rigid wire, hook the end over, insert it through the gap in the glass where front meets rear and fish for the inside door handle. 

  I would wrap the hook end in some tape so you dont damage the interior. 

  Many Thanks & Regards

  Although I always thought it was almost impossible to lock oneself out of a M-B I guess this would be a good time to get an extra key and hide it in one of those magnetic holders under the front somewhere.  They have saved my butt a few times on other makes.

  Your MB Dealer will likely need your registration papers, VIN, and identification to satisfy them that you ARE the owner.  Then they will order a new key based on your VIN.... sometimes around here (Canada) that takes 2 weeks.
   
  Call a tow truck.  Towing companies "break into" cars all the time to remove illegally parked cars as well as (often) to help owners like you to gain access to locked keys.  An experienced towing employee usually takes less than a minute.

  I watched my mechanic do this once and it is surprisingly easy to break in. 

   

  Just remove the trim (don't scratch the paint) along the door top next to the glass and you get access from there down into the inner workings.

   

  You'll need to create a tool with strong wire to pop up the lock mechanism.
