Key locked in truck

I have 2012 toyota tacoma prerunner
I locked my keys in the truck, I have a sliding window but there no button or handle to open is there a way to take it off

 

AAA

 

I remember doing the same thing back in highschool with my Nissan. Thankfully i left the back sliding window always unlatched out of the fear of doing that. But yeah AAA or a locksmith is your easiest bet.

 

Not near one in the mountain working

 

Check out those videos of people putting duct tape on the window then pulling on the duct downward to force the window down. Looks easy.

 

That rear sliding window can be easily opened with a Leatherman, flat head screwdriver, etc. Just take your time.

This assumes you're able to fit through the window.

Then stash a spare key somewhere on your truck.

 

After doing this once I now stash a key. I had a key cut but not programmed, so itll unlock the door but if someone finds it they can’t run off with the truck.

 

I have one of those slim Jim but can’t really use it to good been trying to find the lock

 

I've opened a bunch with a metal coat hanger slipped between the door and top of the cab.

 

Yeah, thats not a thing. At least not without breaking things.

Lots and lots of videos online are just for views, and not actually "life hacks"

 

Oh. Never tried it. Plus don't want to break things.

 

Worst case, smash the rear passenger side or rear drivers side door. Those are the cheapest to replace. Like $75.

 

Yep.... whatever you do, don't damage your rear slider. Unless things have changed, that's only sold as a complete assembly. VERY expensive.

 

At work we use a plastic wedge in the top corner of the door and slip a plastic coated rod in to hit the door lock button when keys inadvertently get locked in something, works 90% of the time.

 

I watched aaa do it. Used an inflatable bladder to force a gap open between the top of the door and cab. Then used a long coat hanger like thing.

It doesn’t matter where you are. Call aaa, they come to you. You might have to pay a fee for being far away.

 

Good luck. Get a credit card key for next time... won't start the truck but it will get you back in. I've had to use mine a couple times.

 

I've locked my keys in my truck twice since 2008 when I got it. The rear slider is easy to open with a wire bendable enough to slide in between the weather striping on the clip side and strong enough lift the clip. Can be done fairly fast, scary fast. Did it both times at work and was able to get wire from the maintenance shop.

 

I carry my spare key minus flob in my wallet.

 

Hate to even broadcast it, but this forum has been so helpful to me - only do this when you absolutely need to, and don't be an asshole - you can slide the manual rear window open with enough gumption without breaking the glass, and slide through enough to hit the unlock button.

 

This is what I did. it stays in the glovebox in the side of the bed. I just used it again yesterday.
