door poppers

[Novadex]

just fitted flush doors and i have a small problem lol
I was in a rush and i forgot to fit some sort of back up plan if the battery went flat..
So now i have a problem lol
I know how to unlock the car with no batt, but how do i open the door? any tricks about to do this? Im sure ill work something out but help is always helpfull . thanx :thumb:

Hahahahahaha lol I'd climb in through the boot and open the doors from the inside.

Personally I would tackle the whole battery situation & install a charging port in the drivers fr wheel arch.

Remove the aerial cover & rig up a positive wire from the battery. Insulate it well & tuck it away, then all you need to do in the event of a flat battery is locate that wire, & earth the jump leads or charger & you'll be sorted.

Thats what i was going to do but i was in a rush at the time and thought it would be ok for a few weeks... Just goes to show lol

[draper]

[Novadex]

[draper]

[raymond]

when my door popper goes tits which is more often than not

i just climb through the boot

[Novadex]

Im just trying to work out if i un-screw one of the "popper buttons" and connect a live and earth to the wires, will it pop it?

[Novadex]

Boot = Flush lol grrr

[draper]

[craig green]

Brick through the window seems the logical next peice of advice!

[craig green]

doh!

[Novadex]

i just binned a few windows i diddnt need aswell lol o well im sure ill work a way in when i get there and have a look. thanx fellas

[draper]

can you not remove the rubber from one of th ewindows and climb in that way ?? just keep your logbook in your pocket in case neighbour hood watch get wind of what your doing

[raymond]

thats one of the reasons why i didnt do my boot due to the fact incase i could never get in the bloody thing

[Mike]

enter by house brick now :D or call out the RAC/AA and say your locked out :thumb: they WILL be able to open it ;)

put a wire down the window rubber and try to pull the latch.

cut the rubber of the small front window ( it may pop out but i doubt it)

try and yank the bonnet release (under the bonnet)

I have known all of thease tricks to work, i wouldent go breaking windows there really is no need

[pul16v]

NOOOO its piss easy to brakin to a nova all you need is a 3mm rod with it bend over 10mm at one end at 90 degrees then pull the seal off the top of the door push the rod down and you can work the linkage will take awile to find the right bit tho done it afew times now lets hope hes not just gone n smshed his window
ps i think uve gotta push part of the linkage down which wil raise the door pin

edit thats if u have any handles but i might be able to do the same with the hanlde with the rod

[pul16v]

bonnet relase is a gud 1 bigbened u might be best brakein ur grill and then doin the spring with a screwdriver rather than smashing a window better putin a new grill on than fittin a new window

[Novadex]

[Novadex]
