Can't open XKR Cabrio doors
Car is 2001 XKR Cabrio, key fob is lost long time ago.
Now door lock mechanism broke and doors do not open with key anymore.
We can access to boot but this does not help much.
Is there any cheap way to get in?
We don't want to break glasses, but have to move car from parking lot soon.
If someone knows any good way to get into that car, Your help is appreciated.

I locked my keys in my Expedition a while back. (Skip down to the next paragraph if you don't want to read my boring story). I had just bought it and I didn't realize the doors automatically locks 5 seconds after you close the door, even if the engine is running. I needed to get something out of the back, so I got out, closed the door, walked to the back hatch, and about the time I was going to open it I heard the "click". So I walked back to the driver's door, and it was locked! The engine was running. I had just bought it used, and I didn't think to get the code to unlock the door from the seller (Fords have a little keypad on the door to unlock it without the key). I finally called a locksmith, and here's what he did:
The locksmith had a little plastic wedge that he slid between the door frame and the B pillar. The wedge push the door open slightly. Then he stuck a flat cushion in below the wedge. He had a little hand pump attached to the cushion, which he used to inflate it. Once it was inflated, he slid a stiff metal rod through the gap. He was able to reach the window button with the rod, and he rolled down the window. It took him less than a minute to unlock my car.
You could do the same thing with your Jag. Just use a wooden wedge between the front and back window, then slide a coat hangar in there and use it to pull open the door handle.

That technique has to be used with care....A few years ago I was helping a friend who locked his keys in his Toyota, which also has unframed windows like the XK. I put a little too much pressure on the window and it literally exploded sending glass cubes hurling everywhere. My hand was on the window. Fortunately it was safety glass...it hurt and the boom was deafening. I was shaking for a couple of hours, but was otherwise unhurt. My friend was able to fetch his key though.

If this does not pertain to you, I suggest you find a more legiitimate provider to host your email.
