Unless you have seen the inside of the door this is a guessing game but it can be done by feel. Place the slim jim in the middle of the window between the wiper and the glass. Put it as far down as you can and slide it around until you feel the mechanism. From there it is gently pulling, sliding and caressing it until it pops. If you can see the manual lock on the inside then you can watch for the to jiggle and you know you are in the right spot.

    If you are using the slim Jim on driver door your mechanism is on the far right side of the door. You will feel it hook but might not see the mechanical lock on interior of the door move at all... It took some force to get it too move but in a upward motion I just pull kinda hard and it popped right open. Good luck!

SOURCE: how to change the serpentine belt on a lumina euro 3.1??

I found on my 92 lumina 3.1 the easiest way to change the belt is to have two people handy (you and a helper) push the belt tensioner (which is more in the middle of the belt system, its the only thing that has give when pressure is applied) down (which will loosen the belt) have your partner slip the belt off the altenator (which should be on the very top of the belt system on the passenger side) and just pay attention to the way the belt is routed as you remove it, put the new one on (routed correctly) push the tensioner again have your partner slip it back over the altenator....and you have a new belt on with no tools :)

just pay good attention to the routing of the belt, and i also think there is a black cover over the belt which needs to be removed before the old belt can be taken off (if you dont see it at first you will find it) it has 3 bolts i think and also a diagram of the routing....

TIP: the tensioner will take some muscle to move down, and yes the belt is running over it....

SOURCE: I Locked my keys in my 1999 oldsmobile alero but I heard slim Jim's don't work on cars past 1992 and if it does work how ??

you have to wedge the weatherstripping out with a wedge.then what you need is a good sturdy piece of wire(not a clotheshanger)on one end make you a hook in the shape of a (u) push your wire down about 5 inches in the gap closer to middle of the door when you hook the rod turn your wire clockwise and it should pop your lock

Can i use a slim jim to get the door opened?

Should work if there is no theft guards inside the doors which would make a slim Jim useless. Pay a locksmith to open the door. They have some specialized tools to get the door open without damaging anything.

I have an 1992 Chevy Caprice Bubble and somebody tried to break in to it so i cant use the key is there another way to get in to it..??

  • Did they try to break into every door? If they screwed up every lock your gonna have to Slim Jim it. There is always breaking the window out but just Slim Jim it. Can use a coat hanger with a tiny hook at the end bent into it as well. Take and wedge the window seal so you can see down there and take the Slim Jim and grab that latch. Not to hard really.

1992 silverado 1500. The lock is not sisezed. I have no key. So what type of slim jim is best?

There is no slim jim to go between the glass and the door on that. You need to pry the top rear of the door out just enough to stick a long wire in and trip the power lock button or the manual lever. You can also take the title down to the Chevrolet garage and have them cut you a new key.
