I like the heat gun idea, intelligent, patient. I locked myself out of my car in a city parking garage once in my youth. Very incensed. I went with the hoodie-over-fist smashing of the rear 1/4 window. Cold ride home.

Probably won't work since the failure is the rod you are looking for with that tool has come loose on one end or the other typically. You might be able to catch the arm of the latch but it's pretty short.

[/QUOT] hmmm...... thread starter has not defined enough about what is problem with door handles. DId the handle(s) brake off on the outside? Or are the handles fine on out side and rod is off? Or is that little arm the handle moves broke.... orrrrrrrr heck..... we dont even know what handle it is yet..... sooooooo maybe a slim jim would work??

Maybe. But pulling the turret cover WILL work and you won't waste a bunch of time rooting around in a door that he likely has no knowledge of what it looks like on the interior and buying a slim jim tool is probably an order it online and wait for it. 10 minutes with a socket and the turret cover peels right off. They are not well sealed so troops can easily remove them.

The plastic rod clips are the most likely failure. Have seen it MANY times.
