I think the only suggestion that will work TODAY is to get it towed on a flatbed or by a tow truck which can do it with the front wheels off the ground. Once you have a bit of time, you can remove the RF door handle and take it to a lock shop to have a key made. Unless something has been replaced, the same key should fit all 4 locks. Don't use the driver's door handle, as there is a very slight chance that that one wore out and got replaced at some time. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
