-
- Understanding how to slim jim:
-
- In car doors there is a control arm that extends from the
- inside end of the door lock cylinder. When the key turns,
- the control arm and connecting linkage are "activated" to
- lock and unlock the door. It's quite simple when it comes
- down to it. The control arm is only like 3/4" long and is
- not always easy to locate. It's almost always located within
- a few inches of the door lock (the part you pull up that is
- like 5 inches higher then the outside keylock). If it has
- electronic locks with the pop up deal, try finding the control
- arm near where the power switch is.
-
- In the majority of American cars.. it's been noted that you need
- to push down.. sometimes you need to bend the end of the slim jim
- in order to work with the thickness of the door. Just slide it
- in past the black weatherstripping stuff and go slowly. It's not
- easy at first.. but once you get the hang of it.. it's easy. Of
- course you must remember any slim jimming can only be done with
- the vehicle owner's consent (just haaaaaaad to add that :) )
