You gotta drill a hole next to the lock cylinder and use a stiff metal rod to push in on the lever the lock cylinder plunger would push in on. You can drill on either side, just make it so the rod will be angling inwards, towards the back of the lock cylinder (use an imaginary line about 2" behind the lock cylinder, you don't want to actually drill IN TO the lock cylinder). I'd use about a 1/4" drill hole and a 1/8" piece of metal rod (you can get at a hardware store). YEAH I know you said your tools are in the trunk, borrow some I guess, I don't have a solution to that part of it, you need the tools. Go buy more?
YEAH you'll need to buy that piece of chrome trim you need to drill in to.
NO I can't guarntee that it'll work becuase it might be the latch is bad, in which case the way in includes such fun steps as busting out one of the tail lights.
I don't know if the chrome rim OR the tail lights are available any longer, but used places should have them, so shop for the tail light before busting either one out so you know you have a replacement.
