Default can you slim jim open a 98 Durango

I been trying for an hour to get into mine with no luck and was wondering if somebody has accomplished this and how they did it.

Thanks!

I know mine has quite a gap at the top of the door. Can you pull it back enough with your hand to get a coat hanger inside and pull the lock up? I've never had to do this to my Durango but have on other vehicles. Reason I now have a locking key box up under my truck. Be careful of the paint.

I'd pick the lock before bothering with slim jim. Actually, I don't have to pick the lock, since I also have 3 keys, with one hidden on the truck.

Smart man. Always have extras. I have 3 door keys and 4 ignition keys. Had to replace my ignition switch and never bothered rekeying the doors because I have an aftermarket alarm/keyless entry.
