The locks on our doors and rear gate are not exactly top notch. I locked myself out of the RS the other day, and it took the lockout guy under a minute to get it open, using just a flat piece of plastic. I was apalled. Are there any mods or replacement locks that are better?

I don't really get the point, maybe I haven't stolen enough cars. :roll: Seems like a slim-jim would still work just fine . . .

Its pretty easy to get into most cars with a slim jim, even most newer ones. I worked at a hotel several years ago and had to use one on alot of cars from ppl locking the keys in.

The hardest ones had locks on the side of the door panel that slide. Also some fords were tough because they put a box around the lock mechinism to prevent slim jims. But usually it was on the upper scale cars with electric locks, in which case just use a coat hanger to push the button hehe.

Locks never prevent theft, they just keep honest ppl honest.

My 00 Passat is a b%$ch to get into when locked out.

very true- i've "busted" into many cars with nothing more than a coat hanger. (cars of friends who locked keys in of cource)
