I can't find my spares either, and it does not look like they'll turn up. Here' the situation that I'm in:
I can actually get inside of the car since one of the rear doors does not lock.
I could remove the passenger side's door handle with the lock cylinder and take it to a locksmith... could they make me a new key based on that? Since it's the same key, that should work with the ignition, right? There is an E-clip that seems to hold the actual lock cylinder onto the handle, but upon removing this clip I cannot get the cylinder to slide.... am I missing something?
Are there any other / better approaches to solving this problem?
I thought I could just buy new keys from the dealer but they say ignition lock cylinders need to be replaced altogether. That sounds like B.S. to me.
The amount of shame I feel is unmeasurable... please no guilt trips
