Yes and no. They have a barrier inside the door to prevent the use of a slim jim. However, I've seen a locksmith reach inside the cabin with a tool and pull the lock knob up in a matter of seconds. Of course, that only works if you have the factory lock knobs in place.

Bill, get yourself down the the MB dealer (have proof of ownership in hand) and have them order you a VIN cut key. Yes, they're kind of expensive at around $25, but they work perfectly, are made of steel so they last a very long time, and don't deposit wear particles in your locks.
