Hi,
I just bought a 1994 Celica ST liftback and as my luck would have it, just locked my keys in the car. I tried a slim jim and even tried wedging it, but didn't want to push it and shatter the window. Is there a better technique I can get in without calling a lock-out company/AAA? Thanks in advance.

yup, what he said, you can get in there because there's no frame.

if not, i've heard that old toyota keys can fit into each other's keyhole so if you got a 90s toyota key laying around you can try it. I've never tried but it's worth a shot.

At my job, a kollegue accidentaly took the key to his Avensis into the work car (HiAce) and he could turn the key, but not start it because it would not go the last bit where you turn the startermotor. biggrin.gif
He called to the workshop and said the car would not start, and they asked: Do you have the right key? Do you have another Toyota?
He changed key, and it was fine. tongue.gif
