today I'm gonna show you how to unlock a
Chevy Silverado with a slim jim or show
you how slim jim works if you lock your
keys in it need to get it in one
whatever exactly how this works and how
we do it alright so this is my 2010
Silverado this will work on the GMC so
for Silverado whatever and you have a
basic slim jim here and yeah these
things are really cheap I'll leave a
link down in the description below for
instead of these guys here they actually
come in a different couple different
sizes if you look here it's kind of a
smaller one but this one's actually been
pre bent I've already bent it you got to
kind of have to bend these things for
one application you're gonna use it on
this one is bent for Chevy Silverado
I'll show you that here in a second but
on the tip here this is actually the
sign or the style of some Jim you're
gonna need to use to open up the
Silverado not this little one it's a
bigger one I actually have a tape
measure inside the door panel of
Silverado but once I unlock it and show
you I'll actually do situation
measurement stuff like that I'll also
show you behind the door panel on the
mechanism that works back behind here
and how it works and how this thing
actually grabs what it needs to grab and
unlocks the car door and that's pretty
much the trick is knowing how the door
actually functions with all that's how
it locks and how it unlocks and things
like that if you know that then you can
use a slim jim I know that so I can show
you kind of how it works on the
Silverado and basically your first steps
are gonna be especially with this truck
here is you can do this with this
molding on the truck but I don't
recommend it it'll be kind of hard
okay this molding actually just pops
right up it pulls right off this is on
every single Silverado and bike GMC
Sierra Tahoe there's nothing that really
holds these moldings on okay this will
make your life a lot easier if you just
pull this off okay and
we're gonna be working in this area here
okay just take note of where if you
still have this GM snow bunch of words
tempered glass all this stuff like that
right here on the glass this is where
you'll be working at I'm actually gonna
put some tape here cuz I don't want to
scratch the window okay cuz the slim-jim
will stretch the window it's gonna be
kind of careful I'm gonna scratch it up
too much I kind of want to still show
you okay so we're looking right here and
right now the car is locked and see then
I'll lock it the little stick pops up
okay so I'm gonna go ahead and lock it
finder off the tape hopefully you can
see that I'm scratching it but I'll show
you real quick how to use this thing so
again it's pre bit I'm gonna stick this
and pretty much right with the damn
signal is that okay know how it actually
kind of stops on its own we'll just
bring you down there and then kind of
has some sliding here and you're gonna
slide the bottom of it this way okay so
what you're trying to do is there's a
rod here that connects to that stick or
this indicator to the actual latch
that's in the door and you're trying to
grab it and pull it up and have this
floating slide over the slide and you're
gonna yank on it up like in this motion
here
alright guys so I'll go ahead and show
you what it looks like on the inside of
the door panel there you go it's on the
lock right there you can see how let's
grab it down there okay at this point
you have to open it up okay cuz it's
unmarked cuz if you move the stick down
it's gonna lock it okay so if I want to
disconnect it or pull them to pull the
stick back out right here with the jam
and boom is about all I got to do is go
and then you actually have it hooked

[Music]
pretty freakin it's not really that hard
and I'll go and show you the
measurements along the slim-jim
well 24 inches long about two foot two
foot long and slim Joe and defend itself
you want to start bending it at about
five and a half inches is where you kind
of want to bend the start okay you're
gonna have to bend it till you kind of
get it but about five minutes all right
guys well that's pretty much it I hope
you enjoyed the video and if you did do
me a favor and hit that thumbs up yeah
if you lock your keys in the car and you
know something with a slim jim or if you
have a slim jim pop it right open using
this this this method here it definitely
takes a little bit of time and a little
bit of practice to do it okay and it
might work on your f-150 it might work
on your Dodge but you really need to
know how the bars are like you
know where they're at in the door
exactly how to get the tool in there
it's pretty much this is a good rough
demonstration on how to do it but an
exact demonstration on how to do it also
brought up so if it helped you out give
me favorite a thumbs up check out the
rest of the channel if you want to see
some more stuff on Silverados and things
like that and kind of fix them up and
yeah if you need to get some slim jims
or anything like that I'll leave links
down to fusionbox below and you guys
