Some damage trying to get a pair of keys out of locked car

99v6stang · February 25th, 2007, 03:37 PM

Okey, so this weekend some how i managed to lock my keys in my 99 mustang, and of course i had no spare, so my parents had a bunch of friends up at our cabin and one of them said he could unlock the car. (he was drunk and i made the mistake of believing him. So anyways my headliner has a rip, my tint was scratched off in several places, and the piece of fiberglass along the top of the door was cracked. And heres the best part, he didnt even get the car unlocked, i unlocked it myself by pushing the unlock button on my keyless entry remote with a clothes hanger. So my question is, what it the fiberglass peice alont the top of the door called? Where can i buy a new one? How can i get the old cracked peice off, and how do i go about putting a new one on?????

Dude, I had a similar situation happen to me years ago. Theres always a moron in the group that thinks they're Nick Cage from Gone in Sixty Seconds. bottom line, now youre stuck with the damage. From what you described, I'm probably wrong but isnt that piece called the jam collar?..
I'd try a local junk yard but you may have more class than me. I'm not sure where to buy it new. The tint problem sounds worse. Sounds like you'll have to re-do the whole window. I just have to say ( always sounds good in hind sight)... I found out later that the cell phone I had actually had road side assistance and they would have sent a lock smith for free.
Good luck. Im sure you'll get it back in shape!!

like the painted piece above the window? Your bound to e able to order it from ford. Tint will have to be redone. And for future reference hook the clothes hanger stick in between window and door from the bottom near the lock pin. There is a curve in the pin hook it and pull up open door.

yea, im talking about that painted piece... no one knows what its called?

GreenFaleen · February 25th, 2007, 04:59 PM

it is connected to the c pillar isn't it? might just be a trim piece?

scubasteve041186 · February 25th, 2007, 05:19 PM

C-pillar is the cover, it's called a sail. and they're a couple on ebay right now if you hurry up and look i seen them earlier this week.

99v6stang · February 25th, 2007, 05:31 PM

the sail appear to be the trim around the back window, i need the trim around the front window

GreenFaleen · February 25th, 2007, 05:52 PM

scubasteve041186 · February 25th, 2007, 06:31 PM
