That's alternate method #1.  The one time I did this, my key was in the
glove box.  (Don't ask.)  The '90 Ford Probe (piece-o-crap, by the way) I
was renting at the time also had the no-pull-up type of lock stems.  So, I
got hold of two wire hangars and some duct tape, straightened them out as
much as possible, except for a small hook on the end and taped them
together.  I then got on the driver's side and ran the implement through the
window (pushing aside the rubber seal fairly easily), hooked the door
*handle* and managed to pull it out enough that the lock opened.

Sounds simple, but it took me two hours and when I was done I was
exhausted.  Exhausted, but proud.
