glass screen would give similar results to the MS plexi screen in the
test.

-
I've locked my keys in the boot, what do I do?
- there is only one method that can be discussed openly, this is known
as the Treffen method, so called because someone locked their keys in the
boot whilst on a trip to Germany with some fellow MG'ers. The method was
developed by Andy 'Scarlet Fever' Phillips and others. Andy posted on
MG-Rover.org explaining this method, read it here.
You may want to get a spare key cut to keep in your wallet for the next
time. Alternatively, you may want to consider fitting a remote boot release.
