ahhhh,
still, the vacuum needs to be applied to make the doors unlock... and with the door locked.....I'm thinking you gotta break a window, or get a thief to jack the lock with a slim jim.

It'll only take a second to pull a vacuum on the various lines in the trunk and see if it has any effect on the locked doors.

At an auction I once worked at, we would gently pry the top corner out and put a small wooden wedge in there to hold it out. gave us enough room to get a coat hanger in there and unlock without damage. make sure to wrap what ever you use(we used a flat pry bar) so as not to damage paint.

Most 240ds have sunroofs. If you are so blessed power up the motor in the trunk to open it if you can get in there. I have never used the mechanical crank for emergency closings but this may also apply. If your car has no sunroof stay away from lotto tickets as well. Gotta be maddening. Also hope you do not tip the scales in excess of three hundred pounds either.

i doubt if you can bend the door frame enough to get in on a benz.

i would call a locksmith.

but maybe you are saying the locks are broken? but still a locksmith may be able to get it to work.

If it's not urgent can you order a replacement key if the locksmith can't get it open?

I thought you can't break into the car with a slim jim.
