The lock assembly is located in the center of the door panel of 1987 Buick LeSabre. Use of a Slim Jim is only legal for locksmiths and law enforcement officers.
I am locked out of my Buick park avenue and have a slim Jim but don't know how to use it
It's built into the alternator. Jim
If it's electric you have to "pop" it from the middle, NOT from where the key lock is. CAUTION....CAUTIONOne needs to be VERY Careful about USING A slim Jim on some of the Later model cars (not sure if Buick falls in this category) which have air bags in the door panels. I'm told by the local police department that they will no longer do this to unlock a car. Another police department had a policeman killed when he inserted a slim Jim into a car door and hit the air bag mechanisim. The air bag exploded forcing the slim Jim upward through the neck and lower throat of the police officer....KILLING HIM.
You eat the slim Jim which gives your lazy butt energy to open the door.
A Slim Jim is a piece of processed meat. No, a Slim Jim cannot open a gm. sierra. It does not have the force, or structure needed.
You can't. You need a wire with a hook because the locking mechanism is on the other side of the window. and you don't pull up, you pull toward the front of the car, only if you can get a hold of the bar.
How do I open a 95 toyota corolla door with a slim jim? I NEED A ANSWER NOW!
yes
I how do you unlock the doorI locked my keys in the car if you have a slim jim where would you put it to open the door
Don't use a slim Jim...You open a coat hanger and tighten the hook to be a little more closed, then you use wood wedges or a flat tool to pry the door open enough to let the hook through into the car. If you want you can use the slim Jim to help get the hook past the weather stripping, or you can just save the slim Jim to use on a different car that is not slim Jim resistant. Pull to get a broad curve in the wire and use it to pull the door handle open. Not easy takes about 20 minutes of steady effort.
the lock mechanism is in the rear, right under the lock, all you do is take the slim Jim and push the mechanism down and forward.
I can attest that it works. Using an upward motion with a slim jim ... just a few inches in from the window trim.
