help!!!!!

My daughter decided to lock the doors on my truck and then climb out the back window. My keys are on my console. My pwr locks don't work yet. What's the best way to get in the truck? I don't want to call a locksmith to come way out here and charge me money I don't have. Back in the day I could take the back window out of my s10 with 2 screwdrivers. Is the window in these trucks glued in or just a gasket like the old s10?

I would just take your vin to the ford dealer and get a spare key. Never hurts to have an extra. So im guessing the back windows open? Can you get a telescoping magnet in there? Have your daughter crawl back in there and get them?

coat hanger in the door, it's pretty easy,they are not that theft proof. I like the magnet and daughter suggestions too.

I locked my keys in the truck before. I was able to get the back window open even when it was latched. I pushed so the locking mechanism did not catch as hard and then I was able to slid the window open. Im not saying push as hard as you can, but I think I have actually done this a couple of times.

Try calling the local PD. I know some will still open vehicles. If not try the Fire Department. If that don't work go to a dry cleaning store and see if they would give you a wire coat hanger.

Pop the plastic covers off of the supercab window and unbolt the window.

Do your widows open? If yes than it should move enough for you to get your hand in there!
