Ahh man, thats sucks! After this is all said and done though keep a spare in your wallet. I took the head off one of my keys and then put the key in my wallet in case I ever did lock my keys in my car. It hasn't happened yet but wanted to make sure I was ready for the day it did. Just a suggestion. But don't go bustin up your car though, probably cheaper to have someone come out or wait for that other key.

you could always use the old tried and trued method: A BRICK.

I got it out finally! Combination of toilet plungers and a screwdriver got the bugger out in a few seconds. Now it's time to fix the door and recharge the battery!

Thanks for everything everyone!

I have an magnetic box with a spare set of keys out side the car and has stayed in place since may, hard driving and 3 auto cross's.
I would say pry out the back window or break it (lots of used ones for sale.)

Please describe, as this could come in handy for others of us.

Did the window glass survive for re-use? Seal?

Seal is fine, basically just stuck a plunger to the glass and pulled back while working around the edges with a screwdriver. I started from the top front corner and worked my way towards the rear of the car, while maintaining steady but gentle pressure with the plunger. About halfway to the back of the window, the whole thing just came out in my hand in 1 neat piece. As far as I can tell, the seal is perfectly fine and it reinstalled without a hitch.

Good job.

And its great to know another way a plunger can get us out of deep SH** when needed.
