Ouch!! VW's are not easy with a slim jim. There is a metal shield over the lock
mechanism inside the door to prevent it. Are the vent wings locked completely.
If they are not, that is the easiest way in. Pry out gently, and tap on the wing
frame with a block of wood or something soft. Some times they will flip over.
Is the rear hatch locked??? Sometimes people forget about that.
If you have to break a window, break a vent wing, they are the easiest to
replace.
