You slip it in between the weather stripping and the window, with the angle of the Jim oriented toward the door lock. There are a series of rods that connect the inner and outer handles with the door lock, so you just have to push down, or maybe lift up and move it around until you find a rod. It will help you greatly if you can find online a picture of what the exploded view of your lock assembly looks like. Once you hook a rod or press on one, you'll just have to experiment until you pop it. Beware: Some newer cars have plates welded inside to prevent slim jims from working.

Locked my keys in my 1998 mazda protege and i need to know how to use a slim jim

A 'Slim Jim' will rarely work on cars newer than 1980 or so. You need to gently pry the car door open and insert a devise that pumps air into a small balloon like container that is place between the door and the body of the car. This will open a gap where you can either unlock the car or try to retrieve the keys with a hook-like devise such as a wire hanger.

This device is common piece of equipment that tow trucks carry with them so I would suggest you let them do it because the price of the device is far greater than a "lock out" call to a towing company.

You probably knocked the door linkage off during the slim jum operation, You will need to remove the inner door panel and re-connect the door handle linkage. Hopefully you did not break the plastic clip.

How do I slim jim into my 2006 chevy colorado with the keys locked inside?

it depends if your door has the antitheft plate,most cars have them now,its just a small metal plate inside the door to stop a slim Jim,if you door has a lock pin you can hook with banding that's the way to get in,but you will need a wedge to open the top of the door just a few mm then take the banding fold it in half and push it in the gap then slide one half forward to open the banding hook the lock pin then close the banding and pop the lock ok.

THE best way to do this is if you have power locks find somthing you can use as a wedge EXAMPLE;screw driver.place the wedge between the dood and the car you may have to pry it open a little. now get a coat hanger and push the power lock button.

LOCKED KEYS IN X5 CAN WE SLIM JIM IT??

Yes, you can slim jim it. Just know that when trying this you can also do very expensive damage to the inner door components. Here is a tip. If the car is running or if you have needed medication locked inside the fire dept. will unlock it for free. They should have a all vehicle unlock tool.
