Just curious, (and I'm not looking for instructions on how to steal a truck...) HOW?
For the LIFE of me, I couldnt figure out how to get through that darn vent window. I tried for two hours with a freakin hanger and such. Prying through the rubber seal was bad enough, once I got the hanger in there, I couldnt direct it to where I wanted it to go. -
to get in a wing window you can use a vise grip to grab the nub on the outside of the latch where it sticks through the glass and twist it. this breaks it though. a better method is to use two flat pieces of metal. I made one by taking a long skinny screwdriver and heating it and putting a 90 degree bend in it. this I put in the seal and the flat part of the blade I put against the lock release button and by pulling out on the screwdriver it pushes the button in. then it's easy to use the other to reach in and spin the latch up.
or you can just pull the seal out of the passenger door window, pop the glass out and reach in but some model trucks that window is a PITA to get back in
