Brent,
I have never tried this. You should be able to remove the rain gutter over the door and then use a long wire between the door gasket and frame to turn the lock button. Remove the rain gutter by unscrewing it at the back end between the rear hatch and body. The rain gutter is glued onto a stip of metal that sticks up from the body. It is made of aluminum and bends easily and destroys it, so be very careful. A heat gun may soften the glue if avalible.
New ones were available last year (~$50) when I painted my car (don't ask me how I know).

Randy's link is the best. The guy's name was Sias. He accessed the interior of the car without damaging anything permanently, but you need to see the photos; I don't want to say where it is. Look at page three of the link supplied by Randy.

I looked at the photos from Sias - basically he popped out a circular cover in the driver's rear seat floor board area.
At SITM's 3 years ago - I helped a fellow sharks owner break into his car after the same kinda event. We removed the drivers side rear window - using two small standard screw drivers. Wasn't too bad to do - took about 20 minutes to roll the gasket to permit the window to slip past the gasket. Getting the window back in was a bit more challenging to get done. Took about 2 hours or so to get the window back into the gasket.

Don't take out the windows, either front or rear. I locked the keys in the car when I bought it from Sias. I attempted all the above, trust me the easiest way is to jack the car up, and just behind the drivers seat underneath, is a 3 to 4" dia. circular rubber plug that is covered with the under coat. I was told to try to knock it out with a hammer, be real its rubber...the hammer bounced off the floor. So what I did was, I put the car up on jack stands and used my hydraulic jack, which has a circular jack point that would normally be placed under the car, this was placed on the plug and used the jack to pop the plug. Unless you have a very long and skinny arm, you cannot reach the unlocking **** without using a set of channel lock pilars. Unfortuntely this moment needs to be shared as you should have someone looking in the car guiding your hand. Once you open up the car, swear them to secrecy. You can easily glue back the plug with any silicone rubber glue. Mine has remained water tight since then. By the way, the pictures were taken by my wife.
