That happened to me once, when the key broke off in the door! What I
eventually did was, I was able to wiggle the passenger's rear window
around enough to be able to separate the weatherstripping molding
between the door glass and the small rear windows. From there I worked
the rear window down enough to be able to reach in and with the help of
a clothes hanger or something else I had at the time, to roll the rear
window down. Then you can reach in again with the aid of an instrument
(go-go-gadget-arms?) and you can reach the lock. Good luck! Another
way you might be able to do it, if you didn't bolt down the backs of the
rear seats, you can go through the trunk if you don't mind destroying
the panel that seals off the interior from the trunk. If you have the
seats bolted down, you'll just ruin the panel. And drilling the locks
isn't a good way to do it either, you can't reach anything. Same with
slimjims... Thinking back, that was quite an exciting time when my key
broke!
