I'm going to have to try that! Doesn' appear to require a large hole in the ball either, maybe about the size of your pinky.

I've got a tennis ball hanging from the rafter of my garage so I won't hit the crap in front of the
car.
I just hung it so it will touch my windshield when I pull in.
The only drawback is when it's raining and I forget to turn the wipers off

Don't waste your time even trying it - it's got bogus written all over it. Somewhere in the distance, someone has the keyfob and they are remote unlocking it when the person uses the tennis ball.

One in every crowd eh. I have personally done this on an older Honda. I didn't have a hole in the ball though. It was a slit about an inch long. I doubt it works on all cars but the reason I tried a Honda was I was told it worked on them. It did!!

I know on a Delorean you can unlock the doors with a rubber hammer if you hit it in the correct spot (it has been proven)! Yes it is true and can be done but I will not tell you how.

If the tennis ball trick actually works, don't you think somebody blowing on a small section of fuel line hose or heater hose would probably be better and move more air?
(Somebody give a section of fuel line/heater hose to Blondie. I wanna see her do it.........  )

I like the old cellphone call and then hit the remote to unlock the door trick.

I suppose an air hose to a air tank or such and a blow gun with a rubber nipple would work great.

They tried this on Mythbusters and couldn't get it to work. Can't remember what kind of car it was, but they tried a bunch of stuff and couldn't make it happen. But that doesn't mean it's impossible......
