Don't drill holes into your car..... Call a locksmith. FCs are incredibly easy to break into, even if you can get the window open JUST a little, you can slide a coat hanger and open the door from the inside in 5 seconds

Just so.

Take a flexible metal ruler, slip it between the outside of the glass and the wipe strip at the window bottom and press down.
That's pretty much it...I've never jimmied a door in my life and this took about 10 seconds.

(It's even easier if you peel back the window trim so you can look down into the door.
The control rod you need to push is instantly obvious.)
