Pretty much what the topic says, i was working on my del sol today, had a blonde moment and locked my key in the trunk of my del sol. unfortunately there is only one key so i'm stumped.

I pulled the storage compartments and everything off the back bulkhead, but i'm not sure what i need to remove to get through to the back, if its even possible... please anyone. the worst part is i'm supposed to be moving to texas on friday and i would like to not have to pay 150 bucks to get a locksmith to pick the lock.

thanks in advance guys.

 

If you can get a ride to a dealership, bring proof of ownership (something with the vin) and an ID and they'll make you a new key, takes about 5 minutes, costs about $10.

 

i dont know about there, but i know here, the cops will come unlock your doors for free

X's 2 you just have to show title etc get them to pop your doors open then open your hatch

 

well, del sols dont have a trunk release latchs, so the OPs gonna have to get locksmith or go to honda.

My '93 don't. Just a gas and (front) hood latch.

I can lock it WITH THE KEY at the personal trunk in the cabin, but if I locked it in the trunk, I'd be toast.

I'd go with the dealer, and get at least 2 keys made, and leave one at home.

Good Luck!

 

I have seen replacement tail lights fairly cheap on occassion. You could bust your right tail light out, reach in and pop the latch. I'm assuming the linkage deal is exposed on the Del Sol's key latch, like it is on a regular Civic. You're talking at least $20 for a tail light then, plus time and labor...

 

Um, why do that, when you can go to the dealer for under $10 as stated here?

 

save gas money.....bust taillight out

 

I guess it depends on how far the dealer is then.

Personally I wouldn't break the car, unless absolutely necessary.

and I have to add, no matter what, get at least one spare key, and keep it at home.

 

i vote bust the taillight and take some pictures

 

i think starting in 95 they put a trunk relese in the cab...93, and 94 dont have a truck release in cab, i always carry two keys for my sol with me in case that ever happens
