so here's my 2010 Volkswagen Kenny nice
language I managed to walk myself out of
the other night so basically I was
showing a customer potential customer
the following bed systems are made for
the back of various bands including
caddies now when I climbed into the back
sure my keys must have fallen out my
pocket and ones in the back then should
the van up and get lobbed itself so I've
locked myself out of my caddy no major
panic initial F and want myself out of
where is cow so far over the years so
far okay I'll do what no madam get a
block push you behind the door and the
door frame so it forces it slightly open
then get Co hanger
feed it through nice and down to the
handle and pull the handle so this went
down and pulled the handle and only got
it slightly open so couldn't completely
pull it so got some welding wire put a
loop on the end of the welding wire but
that in grab the handle who wasn't
instant - yeah a few minutes doing this
and pulled it nothing happened it's all
really pulling hard on the wire and the
door just wasn't opening it the handle
was going and nothing was happening at a
time really couldn't understand it so
home back to the internet onto Google
onto various different forums etc etc
and turns out it's the deadlock system
basically even if I was in the van and
it loved itself I didn't have the keys I
would be stuck and - 1d window serve
wine the window and get out but if
you've electric windows or anything like
that you stuck in the vehicle cannot get
out
so and really sort of out that is okay
so I'm going by Google is that
absolutely useless than that various
forums etc and it looks like I have
possibly three options one rock through
the window and not the best throw of the
best of times really and problems with
that for me is I missed the window hit
the sides of an mr. Holbein completely
hit a neighbor's cow I don't know
so wasn't a great on that option to
again thanks to the various also
importance out there is a hammer
now I'll keep a little bit more accurate
not going to miss the window but we are
going to make a lot of mess is going to
be gloss pits everywhere and it's not
ideal
since we're it's not ideal and then
obviously I've got the cost of and
replacing the window and the time and
effort clean and everything up air third
option is replacement key from
Volkswagen themselves and looking on
again on the various forums this prices
people are saying it varies from forty
pounds to two hundred pounds so let's
get bolts we're going to come hey May
I've been locked my keys in my
Volkswagen cadek and and I've tried to
get through the window to pull the
handle but I believe it's now deadlocked
is that is that correct right and how
much is replacement key then the
Volkswagen Caddy yes
q 164 98 is I included in that yet right
so we've heard from ball try again and
this is looking a bit more of an option
it's a lot of money and ten days I mean
take ten days off a lot of box sets
isn't it to watch so my mind was racing
coming with different ideas I came up
with the next idea which hmm so my
options are now limited been on smash
the window and didn't want to really pay
for an expensive key so have a look on
Google some schematics basically locking
system behind here
so I thought hmm I do quite bear welding
my option is I cut a square out of here
and pull the lock and then again piece
of metal and then weld it back in pretty
drastic real isn't it and then paint the
door
Fletcher etc so when I was looking at
these schematics of the locking systems
on the doors on the Kelly vans long
dusty leaf onto the side door but I also
saw the one for the rear door
so my next thought was oh maybe I could
do the same Erika cut a panel out sort
of
sort of here and then well the piece
back in let us thought about ourselves
hold on to be quite fair I've got a
number plate at the back now let's have
a quick look at the schematic so look
again schematics and thought you know
what the lock isn't far off where the
number plate goes so I came up with I
think was a great plan
so tell a non-player and as you can see
just a number plate off basically you've
got panel behind that nobody really sees
or ever really looks at and thought well
probably don't need to cut hole in it I
could probably drill a hole in the back
get my co-anchor through and pull the
lock up so add a couple of options I've
got my shell cord it cos my wife who
Jill was in the back of the van and
Globus you've got none option look at
that I didn't think that was going to be
quite big enough and I got all those
extincted down to today's different
levels etc etc so pop mat on the drill
set to work and drill the hole in the
back so as you can see this is a hole I
drilled but camera not the neatest as it
turned out didn't quite need to I did so
I drilled that hole and gotta look set
of pliers played about with the wire so
I'm not really happens we've got the car
hanger moved it about here then
everywhere not that really happen again
from there same time so bending the hole
and make
worse and then I actually looked through
and right in front of where I drilled
the hole there is a metal band like an
arm I'll show you from the inside so
while actually doing it more by good
luck than good management and drilled
pretty much directly in front of this
bar here
now this bar opens and closes the dark
so what I got was they set a long nose
pliers I put them through on the other
side and pull down the door opened so if
you want to do this yourself
the hole is roughly the center about 30
mil to the left you still know where
your cue goes in and what 55 milled out
something line up with that drill
through that in line with the bar pull
down with your pliers dead log system
opened up now obviously it leaves a hole
but you can cover that as well now I
bought ages ago off eBay a pack of
assorted grommets let's open the other
way and on the biggest one in there is
that it's about 25 mil something around
just check near 20 25 28 something like
that so I mean if I was going to do it
again I'd set the hole to the size on
the grommet Sonia which one I have
fortunately I had one so one of these in
the hole there you go with the grommet
fitted back in the hole fortunately mine
doesn't fit particularly well because I
arrived about the hole and twisted a
metalslime which affair but
and if I was doing it from scratch again
obviously the hole will be a lot neater
and work perfectly so basically there
you go you lucked out here man
okay anything drill a hole down the
number plate core drill with a grommet
and putting on my playback on thanks for
watching
