Does anyone know if the grill is just attacked with the clips that easily come off?

Charge the battery by either the starter positive post or pop the hood through the grill (somebody please post a pic of the access point) and charge it at the charging points. This will get the electrics working.

Locksmith or buy the easy out tools yourself (plastic wedge, long hook tool to hit the driver's or passenger's pull handle). Forget about the console switch as it will be dead unless you can charge it first. On your first try, do the passenger side as you will scrape the paint with the tools.

Lessons learned? NEVER leave a key inside the car if your not in there too, or a window is not open.

If I could get the hood open that would be great, I could handle the rest . If someone could post the pic of the access point it would be greatly appreciated.

That wont work. With the double locks, you have to hit the center unlock switch first which wont do anything if the battery has no power.

FWIW, there are a few choices for the rear door window glass on ebay for around $60 with shipping.

Entry Gained

I was finally able to gain entry into the vehicle. I borrowed one of my partners slimgim device and was able to gain access. After charging the battery the vehicle started right up. I want to thNk everyone for there suggestions. I'm glad I did not have to break any windows.
