A method of releasing the door lock of an automotive vehicle is disclosed, using as a prying tool a wedge of dense plastic material and an elongated rod-like probe with a short tip, at the end of the probe to be inserted, extending generally perpendicular to the length of the probe, and a handle at the other end of the probe to facilitate manipulation of the probe. By inserting the prying tool into the gap between a door and its door frame on the vehicle body, at a location opposite the door hinges, and using the tool to pry out a portion of the perimeter of the door sufficiently to achieve access to a resilient weatherstrip between the door and door frame, to release pressure locally on the weatherstrip sufficiently, it s possible to insert the probe past the weatherstrip, at the locality where pressure is released on the weatherstrip, into the interior of the vehicle without damaging the weatherstrip or the door or the door frame. The tip of the probe is then caused to manipulate an unlocking mechanism interior of the vehicle.
