Use the Slide Lock Vertical-Z™ car-opening tool to unlock the front passenger door locking mechanism. Insert the box hook flat to the window at either side of the vertical locking button. Push the hooked end into the door cavity. Rotate the tool's shaft towards the front end of the vehicle in order to lower the car opening tool. Once the tool is vertical, lower the tip into the door cavity. Manipulate the car-opening tool until the hook contact the vertical linkage rod. Bind the tool slightly in order to lift the vertical linkage rod and unlock the door locking mechanism.

Use the Tech-Train Productions TT-1017 car-opening tool and a wedge to unlock the rear passenger door locking mechanism. Begin by inserting the wedge along the inside locking button. Carefully insert the TT-1017 tool into the opening between the wedge and the rear edge of the window glass so the tip can grip the linkage rod. Lower the tool approximately five inches and rotate the tool to contact the vertical linkage rod. Watch the locking button for movement when the tool contacts. Hook the linkage rod and bind in order to raise the linkage rod to unlock the door locking mechanism.

The direction to rotate 2007- up driver’s door lock plug to the unlocked position is counterclockwise.
