Has anyone been in the position of having no key for their 914? I need to fly in to pick up my car from San Jose, but it looks like I won't be able to have the key for it. What am I up against? Anyone know what steps I'll have to take to get a key for the car? (if it's like newer VWs, I'll need to break in and remove the door lock and get the number off of it...of course, that's assuming the door and ignition key match). Thanks for any help/info. --Chris

I saw the coolest tool used on mine a few months ago. Thin inflatable bladder slipped between the rear part of the side window and rubber seal. Gently inflated it bows the window enough to slide a coat hanger or hook device into pull the door latch open.
If the window is cracked open the slightest amount it should give you enough room to either nudge the window handle with a coat hanger or slip a coat hanger with a hook around the door handle. The one time I locked myself out of the 914 it was raining and my windows were all closed tightly. |
