pix of you with "your" car... or you fail.

man how creepy is it that pretty much anyone could come on here and have us tell them how to break into the car... or even hotwire it cuz they "broke their key in the door"

this thread should be deleted. I wouldn't want my neighbors to know how easy it is to break into these cars...

ok... gotta lay off watching so much CSI and Law & Order. lol

This is a great reason to install a fuel cut switch or an ignition cut switch in a hidden location as well as keeping the car parked in a garage if possible or at least in a very well lit area at night. I'm lucky that I live at the end of a road with one entrance. To get to my house, you would have to pass at least nine houses of people that know me and my car very well. They help keep a close eye on any vehicles that are from out of the area and I believe this has helped protect me and my car several times. In fact, about two years ago, there were a couple guys in a Ford F350 with out of state plates and an empty car trailer that drove through the neighborhood and turned around in my driveway on three consecutive days. It also happened that the TII was parked outside the garage at that time. Fortunately, I keep it surrounded by other cars when it is outside, but think what would have happened if I was the least bit careless. I immediately cleared out the garage space and it has been inside ever since.
The bottom line: if someone wants your car bad enough, they'll get it. The trick is to make it as difficult as possible for thieves to get access to it. At least give the appearance of security if you can't really lock it in a garage every day and night.

 

i lock mine in the car with it running as it has a turbo timer and its nothing to leave it running after i realized it i got a hack saw blade and ground it in the shape of a "j" and picked The lock might give it a try

 

You can pull up the outside window trim at the bottom and use a coat hanger.

 

Didnt read the thread, but Im able to unlock my friends 88FC with my Keys.(hes got a 88gtx i have an 88 vert)

 

Anyone remember the video of the chick holding a tennis ball with a hole in it?

 

LoL.... who needs a fuel cut or ignition cut when you can just have broken door handles?

What thief is going to think about crawling through the hatch? Hahaha..... too true though....

 

ive used a slim jim several times........piece of cake on a 7

 

This is truely scary seeing as I will be parking my 7 outside my house, easily accessible bc I have to get out in the morning etc. therefore it won't be blocked by other cars.

The trick is to make it as difficult as possible for thieves to get access to it and have a low jack so if they do take it, you can get it back, waterproof the transmitter/reciever(whatever it is) and put it in the gas tank. that's how my uncle got his FD back. Yeah, you'll have less room for gas, but not enough to really tell.

 

check out ebay for one of those "Lock-Smith Pick Kits" you know, the one with the the 20 little bars and the right combo of bars used on the right lock will open anything

Hey guys, this is a small thread revival. I found this thread very helpful after locking my keys in my Vert. I would like to add some additional insight and share some photos. As stated earlier, insert the slim jim towards the rear side of the door, just above the door handle.

This is what a slim jim looks like:



Hope this helps remove any confusion on the entire process.

 

Ok... enough with slim Jims and lock smiths... if I had a nickel for all the times my keys were locked in a FC... use this only on your own car FYI.

1. Remove the door trim under the door glass.

2. Remove a wiper blade.

3. Locate the lock rod on the right side of the door cavity (near where the latch is)

4. Push down on it with the wiper blade.

Your in... reinstall wiper blade and trim.

 

The one time I needed to, this is exactly how I did it and it's frightening how simple it is.
Certainly under a minute and you don't even need to bring tools, the car provides all you need.
Very thoughtful of Mazda.

 

Yes! First gens however are very difficult to get into without tools...
