Thanks Jon!
Now, for the alternative method. Does anyone have the tool or has anyone ever made one that worked? I'd like to get the diameter of the loop and I'll try to make one.
When I get a chance later, I'll get after it. We are still house hunting

Only problem is reaching the damn door lock ****! I could only get my forearm up inside and that leaves me a few inches short with a pair of big channel locks
! We think we can get a socket with a long extension on it but I'm not sure what size would fit.
Can someone please check to see what size socket will fit snug enough to get a bite on the door lock ****?

12pt 32mm socket works without causing nasty scars and does not need a lot of force pressing it on to the ****.
Alternatively find a small-medium sized child or anorexic adult and try using his/her arm - I am sure you can bribe them with something - a blast around the local twisties perhaps ?

This tool will work on any window but I reccomend using it on the rear quarter window or passenger door glass. It has a 100% succes* rate when used as directed.

Actually the 1/4 glass is cheaper than the rubber seals.... in a pinch that is exactly what I would break .....already did that once self locking doors on an 86 !

UPDATE!!
Well, we were able to get the car off the ground higher which allowed a better angle to get my entire arm up through the hole. I could get a pair of channel locks on the turn **** and bingo!! Rocket is free again with minimal damage! I re-sealed the plate onto the rear passenger foot board and she's good as new!
I'm going to ask Randy V to delete this thread since it could be used against us.
Thanks all for the help and yes the spare key is out of the car!

GREAT! I locked the keys in a buddy's 928. Now I get to try one of these techniques.

This was WAY too simple. A couple of tugs in the right area, button came up. Since this has already been posted I'm not real concerned about teaching any wouldbe thieves anything new, but it was surprising how easy and quick it was. No need to even wedge the window. My tool:

Roger is right - as usual
The passenger side quarter window is real quick and easy to take out. It can be a bear replacing the friggin outer trim is the worse part.

three reasons I never lock my 928,
1, I keep nothing in it that anyone could steal that is worth more than the parts they woudl break getting into the car. So why wind up with scratches and broken glass, and a stolen radio or CD's
2, if they want to steal it, they are going to steal it regarding if it is locked or not.
3, prevents me from locking my keys in the car!

My favorite tool is two hangers tagged together - that, with a wooden wedge, can normally reach across the seats and pull the handle, or often just hit the electric lock switch.
My favorite time is when the sheriff already has his fancy tool jammed in the door
