Hi,

At this point, it sounds like the only option is to have it opened using what is called a slim jim. It is a thin metal tool that goes between the door glass and the weather stripping. Once in, you have to find the lock linkage with it and unlock the door.

I don't know where you are located, but most times if you call the local police, they will do it for you as long as you have identification and proof of ownership.

Let me know if you get in to it
