take your spare and open it
just a tip...try and pry the door open from the upper corner (closets to the back seat.
doors have the most (play) from that point....avoid prying on the lock and handle area ...for obvious reasons
try to avoid the weather stripping area too...it will never seal up if you ruin the weatherstripping

easiest way with least damage is flat tip screw driver and pop out back hatch window. comes out and goes back in easy.

Oh good lord. Don't take out any windows. I could break in to that thing in less than a minute with the radio antenna and a screw driver.
Like the first post said... gently pry the door open at the top left corner, use the radio antenna to hit the unlock button on the door...
Or call a locksmith. They can be in it in less than a minute.

Interesting approach. I think I would have rathered busting a window out.
OP do you have vent windows or it is a late model?
Nevermind, avatar is a late model.

I can tell you what doesn't work. Taking a big *** wrench to the wing window. I bounced that sucker off a dozen times and all it did was put a few scratches in the glass.
Coat hanger did the trick for me, don't bother trying to unlock it from the inside lock. Make a hook on the end of the hanger and jam it in the door between the glass and find the connecting rod to the lock and pull up. It's much easier to slim jim it with a hanger than try to get to the damn unlock button.
