It's like locking yourself out of the car, then using a windscreen
wiper to get back in.

If I'm ever in your neck of the woods, I'll buy you a pint if you'll show
me
that one. Coathanger I've done a number of times, but I can't imagine how
one would do it with a windscreen wiper. At least not with any car I've
ever owned.

It is really very simple. I did it when I locked my keys in the convertible
with the top down. Took a few minutes to figure it out though, but once I
did, I was able to unlock both the driver's and passenger doors.
